That is because gpsman starts from a terminal only:
<http://gpsman.sourceforge.net/manual/html/GPSMandoc_14.html>

gpsman from a terminal calls the shell /usr/lib/gpsman/gpsman.tcl

You can create your own for the desktop:

$ gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/Desktop/ --create-new

Name: GPSMan
Command: /usr/lib/gpsman/gpsman.tcl
The icon is in /usr/lib/gpsman/gmicons/gpsman-logo.gif

ctrk-right-click on the desktop icon & drag to the launcher...
