    Maybe I wasn't clear enough. Shortcuts to applications in IceWM can
    be displayed as small icons on the taskbar next to IceWM's equivalent
    of the "start" button from Windows. This is a display style very
    similar to the quick launch section of the Windows taskbar.

    Here's a picture of the equivalent on IceWM:

    Ignore the desktop icons, and check out the small icons on the taskbar.

    Very true though that this will not help if you are looking for
    shortcuts to documents, but it should satisfy the need for quick
    access to frequently used applications.
