A Program Launcher works the same as the Quick Launch toolbar on Windows XP.

How to add a program launcher on Ubuntu.

1. Right click on the Applications Panel. A popup menu appears.
2. Select Add New Item from the popup menu.
3. Select Launcher and click the Add button. Now you can add shortcut items to the launcher. E.g compiz-switch.

Tip: You can also add new items without typing the commands. Open the Appfinder from Accessories and you can drag and drop items to your launcher easily.
