<p>Short answer is you can. The problem is most likely that you have
Launch Feedback (xalf) enabled. xalf is a FreeBSD library, and cannot
load Linux applications. When you try to load a Linux application,
nothing will happen, and something like the following will show up
in <tt>~/.gnomerc-errors</tt> or on stdout:</p>
<pre>
/usr/local/Acrobat4/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: error in loading shared
libraries: /usr/X11R6/lib/libxalflaunch.so.0: ELF file OS ABI invalid.
</pre>
<p>To workaround this problem you need to disable Launch Feedback. To
do this, open up the GNOME Control Center, and select
Desktop->Launch Feedback. Uncheck all the options. Click OK.
You should now be able to launch your Linux apps from the GNOME panel.
