[Xastir] Desktop Icon for Xastir on Mint

[wa7skg]

New subject. Got Xastir working and a few issues remain. Apparently, on 
restart or whatever, I need to open a terminal and start the festival 
server. Then I have to start Xastir in the terminal. Is it possible to 
have festival start when the computer starts? More importantly, Xastir 
does not show up in my menu. Is it possible to create a desktop icon for 
it? Or must I open a terminal window every time I want to run it?

tnx es 73,
