I have right clicked. I don't see how to add a single icon for a
single application. Ie: one used to be able to add an Evolution icon
and if you clicked it, it launched Evolution. I don't want to go
through the menu to start commonly used applications all the time.

This is a totally unacceptable statement. I understand that Fedora is
bleeding edge. I've been running RH/F since RH8. I understand that
there might be bugs.
What is totally unacceptable is to ship an OS that totally lacks the
very basic functionality that one uses everyday.

See above.
I can't begin to explain what a letdown F9 has been, between the KDE
fiasco and the update security issue. This is totally unlike any other
RH/F experience I have ever had.
