(yes, the filename has a hyphen in it). It shows in the dash, but does not get retained by the launcher when dragging it from the dash. To retain it, one has to launch it from the dash, then right click on it in the launcher and choose "Keep In Launcher". This works. The desktop file looks like this: 0 user@somalia:~$ cat .local/share/applications/su-application.desktop #!/usr/bin/env xdg-open [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Terminal=false Exec=xterm -title 'Uni Application' -bg black -fg white -fn 10x20 -g 80x25+100+100 -name QVTerm -e 'ssh -X usern...@hostname.domain.com' Name=Uni Application Comment=University Application Icon=gnome-terminal 0 user@somalia:~$ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/879447/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
