You can do the same with GNOME. If you are running one of the lastest
releases, Nautilus will be your desktop manager. If so, you can right
click on the desktop and select "New Launcher" (IMHO, this is a bad
name). A dialog like the one that appears when you are creating a new
menu item will be displayed, where you type the name, a simple
description (optional), the command and select an icon for your program.
