No output.  It ran perfectly.  So I thought: If it can run from konsole, why 
not from launcher?  So I tried again in launcher.  And tdesu now runs 
perfectly.  Well, with all three of teh applications I want it to run with, 
and I don't care about anyhting else!!

So you, Alexandre and Dan have cracked it, it now woprks, and I haven't got a 
clue what I did that worked. :-/

But thank you all very much.
