This link does not address what I'm trying to do.

I create a bash script that runs /some/dir/XYZ.sh . I used to be able to add an arbitrary icon to my  panel that invokes it .I can in fact open the file manager and drag /some/dir/XYZ.sh into the panel but I cannot modify the icon representing it.

On all earlier versions of Fedora/kde I was able to add a 'non kde app' 
and give it any icon I wanted . I suspect I still can but the mechanism 
obviously is different on Fedora 9/KDE 4 .
Any quick pointers ?
