Method for adding a custom application launcher given non-gnome?

[ian228c8]

I want to create a custom application launcher button for the task bar, that would run a bash script in terminal with an icon.
In gnome shell I’d create an application launcher, but they don’t work in the Jetson environment due to not using gnome.

Is there a simple way to do this?

This turned out to be an unrelated issue, masked by the lack of error messages when desktop launchers don’t work
