I have reproduced the steps explained in: http://www.sagemath.org/doc/html/inst/node11.html
to create a Sage icon on the desktop and open the notebook by clicking on it. So, I have created a a file named "notebook.sage" containing the line: === notebook(open_viewer=True) === in my home directory. In my Desktop subdirectory, created a file "SAGE-notebook.desktop" containing the lines: === [Desktop Entry] Comment= Comment[en_US]= Encoding=UTF-8 Exec=/usr/local/bin/sage /home/jakubi/notebook.sage GenericName= GenericName[en_US]= Icon= MimeType= Name=SAGE Path=$HOME StartupNotify=true Terminal=true TerminalOptions= Type=Application Version=1.0 X-DCOP-ServiceType=none X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false X-KDE-Username= === Here, /usr/local/bin/sage is a link to /usr/local/sage-3.0.2-debian32- intelx86-i686-Linux/sage Using Gnome, I have got then an icon on the desktop and clicking on it a terminal window opens for a fraction of a second and then closes. This behavior is reproducible and occurs also using KDE. I have observed that a script file of name "notebook.py" was generated in my home directory, with contents: === # This file was *autogenerated* from the file /home/jakubi/ notebook.sage. from sage.all_cmdline import * # import sage library notebook(open viewer=True) === Details: This is the binary distribution of Sage 3.0.2 for Debian running under Debian Etch.
