The application launcher can be a propietary application, and the same about the pdf reader, if they do not use GPL'd code. Also some GNU libraries can be linked dinamically against propietary applications.

You are right. Should have pointed that out myself, sorry. I'm not that "only software with source is good", i don't care, if i have to install a closed source program on my router to make it support WPA-Encryption.
One Question about the libraries: you mean those licensed by LGPL, or am i wrong (again)?
