maybe i understand your problem wrong -
your "start from an icon" is clicking on an rebol-script which starts
rebol?
in the betas launch is disabled if rebol is startet with a script as
argument.
this is for the beta-testpanel, where the demo counld launch other
scripts,
but the scripts itself could not launch.
rebol-designers where very sceptical in allowing rebol-scripts to start
other rebols.
launch was a workaround to enable starting scripts without security-
risks.
(the very first launch was able to pass "-s" to a launched script,
setting its security
to none.. so it was disabled for launched scripts.)
in 1.0 the testpanel is dropped for a while and the old launch-behavior
keept.
BTW you can hack it as "%user.r -owner".
if you do [hack-launch: :launch] in %user.r you should have a working
launch in 'hack-launch
(at least when i tried it some month ago).
if you dont keep it, there is no way to get launch back for a script of
course (AFAIK:).
but if you should do..?
