I dragged from konk and dropped (link here). Is it the right way?
Nothing happens when the script has extension .sh (Shell Script),
without extension (Plain Text File) it opens Kwrite.

I guess I must place something in the "Application Preference Order" of 
properties, but what?  (example .sh files in bin also had Kwrite!)

I would also prefer to avoid this desktop icon

I belive that will not be a problem because my app can be launched from its 
icon on a machine with Qt4 installed, the shell wrapper is only there to make 
it work on a "naive" machine.
