that was as an example. here is probably a better one:
DESCRIPTION
gnome-panel-add-launcher allows you to add a launcher in
the Gnome panel. Generally never used from the command
line, except if you know what you are doing.
it lives in /usr/bin
my point: there is precedent for programs that you would not (cannot
use? in the case of login(1)) use directly, but are in a users $PATH.
