I know this is ghetto, but I'm pasting a patch below that may or may
not add support for including user-created launchers (from the gnome
panel) in the universe. The main use case for this feature (for me, at
least) is that I have a few shortcuts set up to launch the chromium
web browser with different user data profiles (one for me, one for my
wife, one for random testing, etc).
I'm definitely no C# hacker, I've done a few projects in VS, nothing
in MonoDevelop, so I was never able to get my project to build
(something about a missing reference to pango), and ./autogen.sh; ./
configure; make; didn't succeed either.
Anyways, if this is something that might be useful I'll spend some
time to get a proper environment set up and push my branch to
launchpad. If this is something that would be a better fit as a
plugin, I can look into that as well...
Any thoughts/comments are greatly appreciated!
