What do you actually mean by that?

One can, for example, go the the application launcher on the default
panel...then go to "Applications-->Internet" and then drag/drop the
firefox icon onto the desktop.   You then have an "icon" on your desktop
and when you right-click on it there is even a menu "Icon Settings".
