Another thing to point about the launchers is the possibility to
drag-n-drop desktop files over the properties dialog.  (Right click the
plugin and select Properties).

So you can open thunar inside /usr/share/applications and move
applications to the properties dialog.  That works also with the
xfce4-appfinder program.
