Re: How can I put shortcuts on my desktop in Gnome/Ubuntu?

For applications that are not in a menu, locate the application, startup script, or link. ON the Gnome Desktop, right-click, select create launcher. Fill in the name (title), a description if you want, and the command. In the case of Thunderbird, the command is /usr/bin/thunderbird. You may want to also specify command line parameters.

E.g. I'd like a shortcut to Mozilla Thunderbird.

I'd also like to add a few shortcuts to the bar on top of the screen the one that contains Applications/Places/System/Firefox, etc.
