I'm facing this problem. I'm using 12.04, with hidden launcher, and while trying drag files from Nautilus to launcher, it (launcher) is not un-hiding. So, the file cannot be dropped to the launcher itself (or to other applications).

There are various workarounds, of course, in particular the intended way to add applications is "opening + keep in launcher", which - however - may not work with some manually created desktop entries.
