Ubuntu 12.04 does not have a context menu for this. I copied an existing one in the Dash, edited it, and got something that works on the desktop, but it is filled with stuff the meaning of which I do not know, and launches slowly. I copied a very simple desktop configuration file from my other system, made two simple edits (command and icon), but the system objects--not certified, or something like that.
The program I am trying to create a launcher for is the Arduino IDE 1.06 (Ubuntu is 3 years behind the times.) The executable is a script located in /usr/local/src/arduino-1.0.6/ Can someone explain how launchers are created, and how to get them into Dash? (I attempted to read a thorough explanation of such files, but it was beyond my pay grade.)
