You soon develop a different way of working. Now I use the search facility
(if I know or can guess the name) or browse through the menu to find the
application the first time I need it. Once it's found I elect to either
add it to 'favourites' - the front page of the menu
add it to the panel - if it's something I want instantly available, like
konsole or kwrite
add it to the desktop - which I generally don't do, as I like a clean desktop.

Fine. Each to his own.
