Thanks Jayson.

So I can't just populate the Launcher by editing some config file? I
really have to open an application first before I can lock it to the
Launcher? Oh well, I think that I can live with that.

I also haven't found a way to change the icons. For example I start
Eclipse with a 3 line shell script that I have in my ~/bin folder, to add
some Java parameters. The result is that Eclipse gets a very boring,
generic icon.
