Public bug reported: Some times ago, right clicking on the desktop, was letting us to create a launcher. But this is no more available on Precise or Oneiric when you are logged as gnome-classic (fallback mode). That was usefull specially when desktop's icons or gnome-panel was not available; that way a new launcher command can be placed on desktop. Nowadays if the user have enough knowledge it can call a terminal via Alt+Ctrl+T , but not everyone remember/knows that. So a launcher creation need to be readded on right click desktop's menu as it's more intuitive.
