    Thanks Rock Doctor,
    Your reply prompted me to have another go. I wasn't expecting much success as i thought i used your suggestion on one of the early attempts.
    Good news it works!!!!!!!!!
    so the amendment is to /usr/bin/thunderbird.

    For anyone else doing this i think i made the mistake of just amending the last word on the original line which is
    /usr/acer/bin/onemail.
    So with acer earlier on of course it wouldnt work.

    Also if one reads the mozilla article under Linux-KDE there are instructions for finding out Full Paths. I have experimented and yes it does come up with the path above too.

    So now i must still have another go at trying to get the TB icon on the desktop
