THanks for your help Miguel, but I have one more question (right at the
end of the mail).

So I copy this script (with typos corrected ;-) to setup-user-links, make
it executable,

#!/bin/sh
#
# This script is invoked by gmc like this:
# setup-user-links --desktop-dirpath
# Due to a bug

case $1
in
    --desktop-dir*)
	dir=`echo $1 | sed 's/--desktop-dir//' | sed 's/^=//'`
	(cd $dir && ln -s /mnt/misc/floppy .)
	;;
esac)
#end

then copy it like this

cp setup-user-links `gmc --desktop-linksdir`

by the way `gmc --desktop-linksdir` points to /usr/lib/mc/desktop-scripts
on my rh6 plus october gnome system, however this directory doesn't exist
- so I mkdir this directory put the script in there and hey presto the
link is made when I select Recreate default icons. OK, so my question now
is - how do I give this link the floppy icon?
