Dunno about xfce (been using Ubuntu 10.04 much more lately), but in Ubuntu it's 
easy to add a command to the main menu so that it looks like an application.

E.g. (drifting a bit further afield) -- I've yet to find an unarchiver that 
reliably handles Chinese characters in filenames for Ubuntu. So I quit trying 
and now I use IZArc running under wine. I have a menu option linked to the 
command:

wine /home/dlm/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/IZArc/IZArc.exe

So you could figure out the commandline options that you want for 'import' and 
put them in the menu.

But... I also agree with Geoff's point that it would be really nice if you 
could do this in puredyne without having to install something else or do some 
fiddly configuration.
