Trouble creating desktop icon for Gimp

I looked up how to create an icon on the KDE2 desktop, and it says that I will need to enter the full file path for the application at the Execute Tab. I could not find the Gimp. I went to Root and looked all over the place. Where can I find the Gimp? Root/???

Try this It is a one-liner so it may not work for you if gimp is somewhere else={ find /usr/bin -name gimp | xargs ln -s /home/ myname/Desktop worked for me-if not break it down find / -name gimp ; cd /home/my name/Desktop ; ln -s /directory/of/gimp /home/myname/DESK top (and look for the /bin/gimp.) Good enuff. Gimp is a lot of fun but I had a hell of a day learning the basics of it. If you have any tips let me know. For instance: animation howto????
