Hi, you very seldom need an uninstaller with an application. The application name .app is actually a directory tree containing all of the icons, major settings, and the executable itself. You can view the tree either by vo-shft-m on the icon and selecting "show package contents" or by using terminal. When you delete the appname.app, you are deleting the entire tree. There are configuration settings that are placed in the library directories that you can look for, but they don't hurt anything. So OSx isn't anything like windows where applications dig tentacles all over the place into the system.
If an app comes with an uninstaller, it's probably advisable to use it in which case you will need to keep the dmg file around. Also, sense it hasn't been mentioned, I'll just say that all mounted drives and server connections can show on the desktop as well.
