I am beginning to understand people's dislike of Unity. I use the term dislike to be generous.
I upgraded to ubuntu 12.04, and am trying to use Unity. Please refrain from the cat-calls and I-told-you-sos. Humor me. Try to help. I want to create a new launch item in the launcher, specifically gnome-terminal -e virtualbox. The "help" says drag the icon of the application to the launcher. OK. Create an icon. Using Dash, I enter in the search bar "terminal". I get two application hits: Xterm and Uxterm. Neither of them are gnome-terminal which is what is launched using the "terminal" icon in the launch bar. And a search in Dash for gnome-terminal yields nothing. Yet top shows gnome-terminal to be running when I use that icon, and "which gnome-terminal" shows /usr/bin/gnome-terminal. wtf. Also, I can launch but one terminal from the launcher. I need to use the first terminal to launch another. So I guess I need to find some non-gui way to put something in the launcher. I know most here know better than to use Unity, but if some brave soul has some knowledge which might help, I would appreciate hearing it.
