no it doesn't , I just drag and drop    a linux terminal launcher from 
the panel to the desktop, it does drop on the desktop, but indeed the 
change window doesn't show any action (although adding the terminal to 
the panel did show a "add" ) .After restart sabayon the terminal on the 
desktop is net here :-( . Am I miss using the tool ?

Sabayon a a wonderful tool ! we've been waitin for such a tool for 2 
years now ! we descovered  it from the CRI74 last summer !
TO set it up, we just deploy with yum the sabayon package, and we use 
cfengine (www.cfengine.org) to deploye the ZIP profile file and the 
xinitrd.d/sabayon....sh .
Again, congratulations for this beautifull tool, we might also apreciate 
futur developpements for mozilla/firefox (thunderbird would be fine also 
... for now, I do that with mozilla autoconfig which is quite perfect as 
well :

and openoffice !.
thanks .
