How do I create desktop icons for the shell programs I create???

I am a bash shell programmer and I create programs on occasional basis.

Now, I dont want my programs to be run by typing out its name at a command line. I want to make it as user friendly as possible. I want to create icons on the desktop so users can click on it. mind you, I said "desktop icons" not "panel applets".

Also, is there anyway i can design my own icons instead of picking from the list of icons given to me by my operating system which is Linux Red Hat 7.2

DOCKER(1)                                                     General Commands Manual                                                    DOCKER(1)

NAME
docker - System tray for KDE3/GNOME2 docklet applications SYNOPSIS
docker [options] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the docker command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original pro- gram does not have a manual page. docker is a docking application (WindowMaker dock app) which acts as a system tray for KDE3 and GNOME2. It can be used to replace the panel in either environment, allowing you to have a system tray without running the KDE/GNOME panel. Docker was written and designed to work with Openbox 2, but it should work fine in any window manager that supports WindowMaker dock apps. OPTIONS
-h-help Show summary of options. -display DISPLAY The X display to connect to. -border N The width of the border to put around the system tray icons. Defaults to 1. -vertical Line up the icons vertically. Defaults to horizontally. -wmaker WindowMaker mode. This makes docker a fixed size (64x64) to appear nicely in in WindowMaker. Note: In this mode, you have a fixed number of icons that docker can hold. -iconsize SIZE The size (width and height and height) to display icons as in the system tray. Defaults to 24. -color COLOR The background color to use for the tray. Defaults to whatever color the window manager specifies. AUTHOR
