Dear Kevin:

Thanks for the explanation. I was talking about the first option, the 
program launcher button (added to the KDE panel by clicking on it 
and adding under "Add application"). I've added them as panel 
"shortcuts" instead of desktop shortcuts in order to allow my 
desktop background image to be fully visible.

Thank you.

Benjamin
