Thanks,

Its strange but that is exactly what I had done and I get errors saying
'can't find command -display.... can't find command -resurface'
Also, when I put the same text into the kde program script (I've tried it on
all three possible lines) I get an error saying 'file does not contain an
Exec='.
Needless to say, the full command works fine if I just type it into a
terminal window.
Summat's playin silly bug**rs somewhere!!*"!
