And nobody ever needed a launcher for a script or downloaded an app outside the package manager or did anything but be a nice little end user and let the GNOMEs take care of everything. Steve Jobs is smiling somewhere. I make .desktop files on a regular basis to fire off ssh sessions and such. Or did until I abandoned GNOME and found XFCE won't launch ssh via a .desktop link under some circumstances I haven't understood yet. Some of my existing desktop links work, others don't and I haven't nailed down the cause yet. Point being, creating app shortcuts is something a medium skill user should be expected to be able to figure out. Telling em to 'go fish' isn't really an answer that anyone should be willing to accept.
