It is in the earlier Fedoras. In fc6(?) they broke it, but there's an
RPM you can download to fix it.

I've tried doing a 
grep -ri "create new" *
in a couple of places to try to find the file, but I didn't have any
luck.

I've got it in the panel, I also have an icon in the desktop. 

There are two issues:
1) I'm lazy and don't want to retrain my fingers
2) It annoys me that I can't find the configuration files. 
   When I want to poke under the hood, I like to at least be able to
   find the hood release.
