Open Composer from Anywhere?

Is there a way to rig an Icon or a menu-item off root (i.e., the
desktop) to open a blank K-Mail Composer window in KDE 3.0?

From Konqueror, there are two items under Location that open Composer
windows, "Send Link" and "Send File". I've started using the "Send Link"
function over and over, but first I have to clear out the contents
automatically filled in.

A quick link to open a blank Composer would be a really nice feature for
nuts like me who don't want to hunt around for a K-Mail window to start
a spontaneous e-mail message.
