How about a desktop icon labeled "find and install new software"? (Okay, that name is a bit long...) It would invoke whatever mechanism (apt-get, yast, etc) is appropriate to the distro.

But the earlier posters make a valid point: anything the enterprise desktop user needs should be preinstalled in the image that the IT department rolls out.. In an enterprise environment further updates (and this may include custom packages not available from the distros) could be managed by something like LinuxCOE.
