One of the best
ways to make that possible is to add icons to the panel or the desktop that can launch the applications
you need with a single click. Procedures for adding applications to the panel and desktop are
described in the following sections.

Linux First Steps Part I
Adding Applications to the Panel
You can add any KDE application to the KDE panel quite easily. Here??™s how:
1. Right-click an open space on the panel.
2. Choose Add Application to Panel.
3. Select one of the categories of applications.
4. Select any application from that category (or select Add This Menu to add the whole
menu of applications).
An icon representing the application immediately appears on the panel. (If the panel seems a bit
crowded, you might want to remove applications you don??™t use.)
If you decide later that you no longer want this application to be available on the panel, right-click
the edge of the icon and click the Remove button. To move it to a different location on the panel,
right-click it, click Move, move it to where you want it on the panel, and click again.
Adding Applications to the Desktop
To add an application to the desktop, use the desktop menu. Here??™s how:
1. Right-click an open area of the desktop.
2. Select Create New???Link to Application from the menu.
