I mean ie. putting a .pnd somewhere in a *pandora/desktop folder on nand, and voilà, the icon appears on the desktop.

yeah, personally I thik everyone shoudl spelunk the conf files .. I put _Everything_ into conf files, so you can go nuts More to point .. you can override a lot of conf settings by dropping conf files onto SD .. the system checks SD first, and then fails back to NAND. So you can modify conf files by using SD, and if everythign is mucked up, just eject the SD and all good
I should make a 'searchpath edit' settings thing, so people can specify alternate searchpaths without conf hacking, but another day.,.

Having checked the sources (but unable to test on a Pandora), it looks like, by default, you can put PND files in /usr/pandora/apps and they will show up in the menu (but not the desktop). If you want to change that, you can edit /etc/pandora/conf/apps to add another searchpath, and /etc/pandora/conf/desktop to set whether it shows up on menu or desktop (or both).
at the terminal, sudo cp <filename> <folder> should work
On an Unix System all system files are usually read only for all non-root users, leaving only the user's home directory as well as /tmp and possibly other additionally mounted partitions writable, because the system itself is a holy place no user shall be able to mess up. If you need a GUI for entering root's land, just start the file manager of your choice as root, but it's better to use the GUI variant of sudo (should be gksudo for XFCE I think) for GUI programs as it handle the home directory slightly different.Does this have something to do with needing administrative rights since the command includes a sudo? I'm guessing then that you are not given such rights to "drag and drop" through the GUI?
/usr/pandora/apps
/etc/pandora/conf/apps
AND
/etc/pandora/conf/desktop
