How to create a launch icon on desktop or bottom tool bar?

[Artim]

Sure!  You can right-click on the panel and select Panel Add New Items.  Then select Launcher if it's an app you want to add to the panel.  The added item will appear at the end of the panel.  Don't want it there? Put it anywhere on the panel by right-clicking the icon and select Move.  Then just drop it exactly where you want it on the panel.
Hope this helps!
