How can I create a launcher in 11.10?

Question

After I upgraded to 11.10, the Create New Launcher option has disappeared from the menu (Right click anywhere on desktop).

It also doesn't look like the "Finder" can find anything named "launcher"

So how can I create a launcher on the desktop in 11.10?

Or if you want to do it manually,
