OK, you make a good point. The GNOME developers should consider adding
useful functionality that once worked well and was taken away for no
apparent good reason.

The hardest and most frustrating thing about adopting the Unity
Desktop was figuring out how to add my own launchers particularly when
this was a solved problem in earlier versions of Ubuntu.
The issue has nothing to do with unity though, it's just a GNOME change,
you would have it as well if
I figured out how make launchers by simply writing *.desktop files. I
now have about 6 custom launchers that I use everyday. It is convenient
for some of them to be on the panel and some on the desktop and some in
other directories based on their context. How could the developers
know how I
I don't quite get it:
The panel is definitely a /consumer/ of launchers (because you need them
to do anything usefrul with it). But, with removing the last /producer/
there is no longer a convenient way to create them - You all seem to be
expecting every single program will provide application
So there's no currently obvious way to edit launchers and this doesn't
seem odd to the devs and release managers? Jumping to Unity before this
kind of basic functionality is in place has pointlessly added to the
change shock frustration, and makes me even less well disposed to
having the change
Will be any alternative for Gnome (upstream) fallback mode? Thanks for
the info :)

@johannes-schindelin; are there any specific features or functionality

This change is really bad... I have seen so many complaints about it on the
Internet.
What's wrong with having a way to create a custom .desktop launchers easily?
There just needs to be something to replace this feature.
I have seen there is a project to edit the Launcher but there also needs to
Nothing wrong, see https://launchpad.net/unity-launcher-editor, the
feature is not dropped it's just a move from an old unmaintained GNOME
component to a new software

@Sebastian: I guess the reason people are still commenting even getting
discouraged all the time is that people are missing the functionality
that has been removed without an adequate replacement. Count me into
that group of people. It does not help that my previous solution stopped
working, too:
Could people stop adding comments there? It has been stated before that
the binary can't be used because it's in gnome-panel which is not
installed, so it needs to be added back in some other way, if you are
interested to help and work on that please feel free to work on it,
otherwise complains
Ok, John just mentioned to me that https://launchpad.net/unity-launcher-
editor should fit that need and work on packaging it is on going on so
it should be avalaible in Ubuntu next cycle for those who want it

I am confused by the advise above to launch the binary manually. I am
using Natty and currently do not have gnome-panel installed, and thus
the binary itself is not working. The terminal output prompts me thusly:
gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new launcher name
The program
I do not like is removed a good functionality without having another
replacement. I hope that next LTS again be present.
Many people I know you create your own shortcuts on the desktop. (They
still use 10.04 LTS)

Personally I don't think people wanting to create a launcher to run a
custom program will know that they will need to run gnome-desktop-item-
edit to create a launcher. Isn't there any easier way to generate a
launcher? Even creating it as a menu entry for gnome-shell/unity and
then dragdropping
