If there are only a few, just drag them off the
menus and drop on the desktop.  You'll get nice
large icons in the launcher that is automatically
created.  If you want several, or several categories
you can put them in folders on the desktop to group
them.  Then you can change the default session to
IceWM and Nautilus running in the background will
let you use the launchers with a nice simple look
and feel.  If you stick to Gnome, you also have the
option of dragging the icons to the task bar or
into drawers you've made there.
