Arronax is a Nautilus plugin to create and modify application starters (technically: .desktop files).
Arronax adds a menu item “Create starter for this file” to the context menu (that’s the menu you get when you right-click a file in the file manager). If the file is a application starter you get an item “Modify this starter” instead.
If you have icons on your desktop enabled Arronax adds a menu item “Create starter” to your desktop’s context menu.
Enable icons on your desktop
With Gnome Nautilus is by default configured not to show icons on your desktop.
