Display a random fortune in the login window

Ok, it was the
cd ~/Desktop
that i was missing. But is it normal now that after doing that, and doing the command to make it executable, I have no confirmation of any sort, and that the file havent changed, I mean it still say "document" when I look in informations ?

Yes it's normal.

Command line programs like chmod normally only say something if there is an error. No news is good news so to speak.

And making a script executable doesn't assign an icon to it.

I wasnt assuming an icon, just a new type (dont know if its the right english name, my os is french) in the info, like it was document, I assumed it was perhaps gonna change to a new type like "executable unix file" or something :). Thanks for your answer, I'll see that at next reboot :).
