[SOLVED] how to create desktop link to application

Hello

am quite unfamiliar to linux, so I have installed Mageia 3 KDE as most
user friendly OS. Everything works even better than I expected. I would
like to set desktop launchers (trough desktop-right click-standard menu-ad
new) for Screen Locker Settings and Configure Energy Saving. I have found
many articles about disabling screen locker and adding various desktop
"shortcuts" but couldn't find nothing of my topic. At the best it was
something similar but couldn't understand or was afraid to combine. I have
found widget for screen saver turn on/off but id didn't work properly.
Please be kind and give me step by step instructions especially about
finding work path or uri. Maybe i would have some other needs in the
future.
Thank you in advance
Best Regards.

For screen locker settings? And energy management settings?
The command for the first would be
Code: Select all
kcmshell4 screensaver
and for the latter
Code: Select all
kcmshell4 powerdevilprofilesconfig

In a terminal you can run kcmshell4 --list to list all the KDE configuration modules.

But for energy management one usually adds the battery monitor widget (is even the default for laptops) as the settings are available via right-click ...
