I was thinking it would be nice if IBar could automatically add launch items for programs that the user opens manually via a xterm or a run dialog.

The user interface could be implemented a number of ways:
  1. Dialog:  "IBar noticed you ran an application that is not already in your launch menu, do you wish to add it?"
    The interface could give the user an item to drag-drop, a selection of the menu to place it in, etc.
  2. Less Intrusive:
    Accumulate used programs that haven't been placed in their own special location somewhere that the user can access and add them later.
  3. Physical methods:
    Drag the icon from engage to the ibar.  Drag the application from the pager to the ibar.
  4. Application Menu:
    In E's context menu for the application you could have a "Add to IBar" entry.
