You can put that into a global directory, e.g. /usr/share/applications or /usr/local/share/applications or a user local one, e.g. $HOME/.local/share/applications. Launcher menu entries are are basically standardized between desktop environments, i.e. the same files are used by KDE, GNOME, LXDE; XFCE, etc. to build launcher menu contents. > >> .

Not apps. I am on KDE 4.3.2 and when I right click the quick launcher applet/widget, I get a menu choice of "Add Icon" (could actually be named differently, backtranslating from a German localization here).
