As an example if I install a third party application such as Maple
which
does not create any menu items to run it during the install process then
it is necessary to have a link to the binary in order to execute it.
For such an application it is vital to be able to make a quick launcher
of some kind otherwise running it routinely is tedious.
Create a .desktop file for it. It's not hard.
I'm sure kde(4) will add a gui for doing that, but afaik, it's not there
yet, and not on the radar. Might be a fun itch to scratch for someone who
really wants that... hint hint. :)
