Stupid idea IMHO.
How does you think the "Run" command will work before the installation happens? And if you installed already - why you cannot use the main menu to start the app?
Creating shortcuts on desktop - why you should do it from the SoftCerter? In KDE yo can do it in menu within the DE. If GNOME not support it - ask the GNOME developers to extend the GNOME functionality.
Also...
I have a better idea :) -
Lets add the messenger, WEB-browsing, logs reviewing, system configuration, documents editing... in the Software Center. If it is called Software Center it should perform any action the user want, shouldn't it?. Tell me why? :)
