Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.8.3-1
The gnome-desktop-item-edit program, which is needed to create
"launchers" on the desktop (and maybe also on panels) is in the
gnome-panel package. The Nautilus package, which does not depend on the
gnome-panel package, provides a Desktop with items, but one can not
create new starters (because the needed program is in another package) -
I use Nautilus with IceWM so I need the Desktop but not the panels.
I extracted gnome-desktop-item-edit from the gnome-panel package and
copied it to /usr/bin - it works without gnome-panel or its dependencies
(at least the ones that were missing for me).
I'd suggest to move gnome-desktop-item-edit into the Nautilus package or
some other package both Nautilus and gnome-panel depend on.
