Yes, editing or creating a .desktop file by hand is of course an option, but tedious for many custom applications. This "create icon" functionality you describe is not there in current cvs, hence my question. There is an "edit icon" option in the popdown menu when you click on the window title bar, but that will only work if the application is already started. Creating .desktop entries for scripts or scripts starting another application with a gui is not possible (it was before). I'd vote for putting the possibility to easily create .desktop files via a gui back in, it'll make life easier for unexperienced users.
