[TriLUG] passing parameters to programs via launcher in gnome and samba

[Ryan Leathers]

I use this sort of thing:
/usr/bin/vncviewer -fullscrean -shared -passwd /usr/local/etc/vncpasswd
1.2.3.4

This launches vncviewer in fullscreen mode on host 1.2.3.4 and won't
kick me out if someone else logs in while I'm still in.  The password
stored in the specified passwd path is tried, and if its successful I am
not prompted for a password.
