You can already drag the site icon from the address bar to a panel to
create a launcher. That can then be dragged to the desktop to create a
launcher there as well. It would be nice if dragging the site icon to
the desktop just created a launcher instead of copying the file, must
remember to file a bug about that.

I imagine Gimmie could accept drops of the site icon to allow the same
thing, if it doesn't already.

It shouldn't be to hard to write a PyEpy extension that takes the
current page and adds it to the user's menu. It would add something like
a "Add Launcher to {Menu|Panel|Desktop}" menu item, which if selected
displays a dialog like Epy's current Add Bookmark dialog, but for the
menu/panel/whatever.
