try making a text file (copy paste in kedit if you want) as follows

#!/bin/bash
x2vnc -display brass:0 -east -passwd pawsswd file -resurface tin:0

save the file and then edit the permisions to allow execution by user

you can test it by typing

./filename

you can then use this as the target for a desktop icon. if you want to hide 
the script, put it in your home directory and referance it as

/home/ian/filename  (replace ian with your home directory name)

i've just been messing about with app links and found that entering the 
comand line arguments directly into the 'execute' line of the config screen 
does exactly what you want. i tried 'rxvt -bg red' and it worked fine. i 
haven't tried the app your using (don't have it), so if it won't accept it, 
the script route seems like your only option!
