What is the application? How did you install it and where from? ;) :D

The name of the application is xfce4-appfinder, it was installed through sudo apt-get install.

Right, this may not show because:

1. Zorin does not use XFCE Desktop Environment - Even in Lite (that uses LXDE).

2. You may need to install XFCE and choose that option (if it puts a DE option at the login screen - not sure - you don't want to break your Zorin install do you? ;) :D

No, I don't. I was just trying to install application that will help me find other applications. But now i have got another problem: sound distorted (slow down mp3s and absent in web videos) in online videos and Rhythmbox mp3s. Is there an easy way to reinstall sound drivers or something? Should I start another thread for this question?

Take a look at Wolfman's Post Install guide - top item on Board Index - in particular section on sound and codecs. ;) :D

I did look at Wolfman's Post Install guide - installed recommended packages ( libsox-fmt-all faac flac paman), tweaked with pulseaudio, but still having problems. I will start another thread.
