Specification updated.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter?action=diff&rev2=674&rev1=672>
Here's how I've addressed each of those questions I listed earlier:
1. During the installation process, and even the purchase process if
any, the icon should be greyed-out in the Launcher. We should be doing
that anyway -- that it appears in the Launcher only after installation
now is a bug.
2. An unpinnable software item should cancel its drag in the normal way
(by bouncing back to where you dragged it from). We wouldn't distinguish
them specially, but it will be fairly obvious because unpinnable items
will have a plain package as their icon.
3. If you drag an item that's already in the Launcher, that Launcher
item should just move to the new position.

** Description changed:
Watching a first time user using Ubuntu I noticed at min 12:50, that she
tries to drag & drop the calculator icon to the launcher. It doesn't
work, but I think it should.

Being able to add programs to the launcher in different ways improves
the UX for average users. For them an icon represents a program and
being able to D&D it to the launcher is logical. Therefore this feature
should be added.

Desired resolution:
1. Allow users to drag and drop app icons from the Software Centre to
the Launcher.
- If the app is already installed but not pinned to the Launcher, this
action pins the app icon to the Launcher.
- If the app is zero cost ($0) not yet installed, it is installed and
pinned to the Launcher in the same manner that apps can be installed by
dragging and dropping from the App Lens to the Launcher.
- If the app is a paid app, the user is taken to the purchase page in
the Software Centre. When purchase is complete the app is pinned to the
Launcher.
2. Dragging a item which is not a app (e.g. a pdf or a system liberty)
does nothing. The Launcher should signal this to user by dimming;
exactly the same interaction that happens currently if the user tries to
drag a file from Nautilus to which has no valid drop targets in the
launcher.
3. In all other ways, this interaction should be exactly the same as the
interaction a user experiences when dragging a app icon to the Launcher
from the Dash.
** Summary changed:
- Launcher, Software Centre - Add support for dragging app icons from the
Software Centre to the Launcher
