No sooner do I post this than my system makes a liar out of me.  I tried
this over and over yesterday, couldn't get it to work, I tried it again
right clicking on the desktop as root and I get a fully functional icon
on the root desktop.  I tried adding it to a menu and get nowhere.

safe_mysqld ?

You have to remember gnu linux is a cli system so telling people about icons
etc... probably won't get you much help.  This is because not enough
information is comming across to help you with anything particular.

If you are running safe_mysqld I would try it as the following so the
controlling terminal doesn't cause problems.
safe_mysqld & disown

This should fork the process into the background and detach it from the
terminal session that is spawned when you execute it.  I would also expect
that there are also issues without env variables when you run directly from
an icon or menu item.  Any of these issues could be causing your problem or
possibly more.
