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.
