Public bug reported:

If you "Add to Panel..." in GNOME you get a nice selection of Custom
Application Launcher, Application Launcher, and then applets.
Application Launcher allows you to browse the .desktop files to select
your app.

When you define a Startup Application you get a textbox to enter a fully
qualified executable: /usr/bin/something.

I think it would be a good idea to borrow the UI from the panel so that
the user may browse his/her .desktop files instead of relying on them
knowing executable names and locations.  Still need to retain the manual
definition too for executables that have no .desktop entry.

** Affects: control-center (Ubuntu)
