We have many applications and I would like to add launchers to the top panel for these applications, at the moment I do this manually but would like to find out if there is a way to have this happen automatically, possibly using skel or something similar. I'd also like to change the default behaviour of the file browser (nautilus?) without having to manually perform the steps for every install. Is there a way that this can be done? Any help would be greatly appreciated as it would save me lots of time.

Please, people, don't post in HTML.

Some folk can't easily read it.

Some folk don't like it because it adds bulk to email and takes longer 
to download and adds to their internetting costs.

Some email clients don't handle it well, and I'm including Seamonkey and 
Thunderbird in this. I was going to offer some advice regarding this 
question, but when I hit "reply" I find the entire paragraph is quoted 
on a single line, so I can't easily see what I'm talking about.

The most widely acclaimed guidelines I've seen say "plain text, line 
breaks at about column 73." Properly configured, popular email clients 
can do this automatically.

Here are some useful links.
