What package?
For a package 'xyz-3.4-2b.i386.rpm'
the binary is likely 'xyz'

How to start it depends what it is. For example if it is a service, it may be 
set up to run with 'service xyz start'

or if it is utility, it may reside in /usr/local/bin and just execute the 
binary/script:
'/usr/local/bin/xyz'

If you do not know where it is, you can do one of two things:
a) as root run 'updatedb' (or wait a day)
   then as a reg user run 'locate xyz|grep bin'
b) query the rpm data base:
  'rpm -ql xyz'

Once you find it, if you want, you can add an icon or whatever to the gui.
