Hello. I imagine this is covered already, but my search came up empty.
How to create a launcher that prompts for an argument?
For example, I'd like to create a launcher for rdesktop, but want it to prompt me for the host name that is the destination?
Thanks for the help.

Try zenity. It builds dialogue windows from the command line.
