 hmm... normally I have a keyboard shortcut to xexec or something, 
and just type 'netscape' :) alot faster than grabbin' for the 
mouse...

but i saw a package named gicon in the slink distro, haven't tried it 
yet, but it claims it can place funny little shortcut-iconey-thingies 
in the root windows (or desktop if you prefer).

Try it...
