When in the full app list, you can press and hold an icon to put it on one of the main launcher screens. When you do this, the UI switches back to the main screen so you can place it. At this point, though, you're at the same position as if the icon has been on the screen to begin with. You can move it wherever you want, including to the trashcan to delete it from the screen.

Ok, so that is basically whats going on. Why have the trashcan appear then if it doesn't do anything, until after I've placed the icon onto the main screen? To me, a trash can means delete something, but yet it doesn't delete the app, only the icon and only after it's been placed. Part of this may be the Samsung launcher, as it does appear different then the stock Android one.
