At the application launch bar, the Add button looks for .desktop files from /usr/share/applications - interesting, but it's hard to easily add my own custom launchers, like from terminal commands, as i can set them easily on Gnome.

[Desktop Entry]
Name=µTorrent
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/kensai/.wine" wine "C:\\Program Files\\uTorrent\\uTorrent.exe"
Type=Application
StartupWMClass=Wine
Icon=utorrent.xpm

You can create them yourself, i posted an example of utorrent.desktop it can be modified for another application.

This is an example for xchat, I created an xchat.desktop text file.
