You know those icon Envelope right of the panel gnome ubuntu?

gnome-indicator

Well you can add the link to the drop-down menu to open several programs

here’s how you would have after adding your favorite programs:

gnome-indicator-final

For the occasion, I created a script for the most popular programs:

aMsn

Skype

Thunderbird

amule

Firefox

Rhythmbox

Once you have downloaded the execute permissions with

right click

> properties> permissions> (tick) consetire executing file as program

To run the script you have to click

alt + F2

and write gksudo

then given a space and drag the script then press enter
[es: gksudo /home/Vostronome/Add-INDICATOR-Zenity.sh]

if you want to leave me: comments, report errors, constructive criticism! write here
