How do you launch those apps?  WindowMaker, for example, has its menus in a
file under ~/GNUstep.  Find the equivalent for your wm and view it to see where
the launcher is pointing to, then use "which" and "ls -l" to find what the
launcher is linked to (they're usually just symbolic links).  You can then
remove the link and create your own ("ln -s TARGET LINKNAME").
