Launchers and stuff are handled in several different ways by the several
different window managers out there. Both Gnome and KDE provide easy ways to
set these up, and you can tell them to use the LyX icon provided.
For window manager that don't provide launchers, less elegant solutions include
starting LyX automatically when you start the wm, inconified. Again,
wm-specific.
