Ah - I missed the point totally :-)  OK.  I was thinking of application 
launchers on the panel.

Whether you use kickoff menu or krunner (alt+F2) they have a fuzzy search, so 
if you put in VoIP you should see a list of all the VoIP capable applications 
that you have installed, and you can then click on the one that you want.  
Does that help?
