how to put apps in "My Selection" tab

Dear Folks,
I'm embarassed to say that I've run into a silly difficulty that
I'm not able to find a quick resolution for. On my N800s I need to present
an application run as a script inside Xterm staright from ~/.profile file.
I tried using "Mikie's shortcuts" but there are some problems when the app
exits or BT hardware goes to sleep.
What I need is to show Xterm in a way that makes calling it very
easy: preferably right on the desktop, possibly as top of "My Selection"
tab. I know it is probably very easy, but I need it fast, so please help
your embarassed colleague.
Thank you, julius

Once in the "organize" dialog, you can drag and drop applications from
the application list to the pannel list. So drag xterm into "My
selection" and you are done.

I think the easiest way is to install the program and then uninstall it
immediatly. The installer entry won't appear again after uninstalling.

That's what I did and it worked for both skype and gizmo.
