Desktop Shortcuts

[Steve Wu]

I'm running Edubuntu 8.04 and maybe I'm being brain dead due to the fast 'n furious start of school, but I can't seem to simply place shortcuts to our high use apps on the desktop. I thought in our previous 6.06 Edubuntu, I could add shortcuts ala WinXP - right click on the app in the Applications drop down, and then have a choice to send it to the desktop. 

I'm not seeing any options if I do that, nor can I just drag it over from the Application drop down. What am I missing here? How do I add shortcuts to a desktop in 8.04?

Many thanks in advance!
