On my gnome3 activities screen I have 2 icons that are dead.(eg. mouse
to top left, then click on all applications)
One icon is blank and the other specifices the application but does not

the other. (I can probably fix the other one by placing a symlink in
/usr/bin).
I did a some google searching, but nothing really solved the problem.
You can right click on them to bring up a context menu to remove them.
Then in the full application list, you can right click to "add to
favorites" to fix the other.
The context menu only has "New Window" and "Add to Favorites",
the favorites bar when you right click on an applicaiton only has
"Remove from Favorites, New Windows, and a an additional entry or two
if the application is running.
There is no way I have found to delete those icons, or to edit the
icons to point them to the correct application, I've run the
gnome-tweak tool, the gconf and dconf editors, but I was not able to
fine where the icons can be removed. I added a "Remove Activities
Button", but that removes the hot corner. If I do a find -name using
wildcards looling in /usr/share ~/.local.
The application itself installs in /opt, but at present I have to call
it via the command line.
This is not a big issue since everything works. I just don't know how
to remove application icons from the desktop (all applications, not
yhr favorites bar).
As I suspected the culprit was in ~/.local/share/applications
The file is called alacarte-made.desktop
Actually, there are a couple of them.I don't know why they were in my
~/.local/share/applications since I installed the product as root from
the .rpm file. Also, the dates on those files go back to Fedora 17 last
November.
