The /usr/share/applications/XaraLX.desktop is provided, though it may happen that it can't be found by KDE3, so it may be necessary to create menu item in KDE desktop manually. One option is to edit Main Menu. The icon is in /usr/share/pixmaps/xaralx.png .

The other option is to run:

cp /usr/share/applications/XaraLX.desktop $HOME/Desktop/

This will put icon on your desktop.
