I think I've read every posting in this thread, and I _still_ don't
know what you mean by "application launcher".

Isn't that what shortcuts and start menu and all the other shiny-bits
on GUI desktop environments do?  [I don't use a "desktop" so maybe I'm
wrong.]  The "root menu" provided by many window managers is also a
common way to do this (that's something I do use).  A command-line
shell like bash is also a common way to do this.  And yes, there are
plenty of them available for Windows.

What way?  I can't figure out how what you want is not what's provided
by any of the standard GUI desktop/shells or command-line shells.  Are
you looking for a 1980s-style menu driven UI that were common before
GUIs came into widespread use?

I think the problem is that you're unable to describe what you want in
a way that's understandable to the people that might be able to answer
your question.
