No need to apologies :)

I assume you run Nautilus? If not do.
Then you can drag and drop menu-entries onto your desktop. So for
example, if you want AisleRiot from the Games-menu, just open that menu
and drag the entry onto your desktop.

I'm sorry I can't help you with your other question though.
