Hmmm, Marko said LaunchPad but I was thinking of 
one of the third party launching utilities.  I 
don't actually use Apple's LaunchPad.

Myth installs double-clickable Applescript 
helpers that you can drag to the Dock--which 
auto-magically creates a link. What I've 
experienced is that when Myth is uninstalled, the 
link on the Dock remains.  Perhaps LaunchPad is 
doing the same.  The Myth ports DO clean up after 
themselves.
