** Description changed:
Binary package hint: unity
Attempting to add a custom launcher in the for of "application
/path/to/file" to the unity side bar.
Currently there is a way to add applications (open application,
rightclick item in side bar, keep in launcher). Upgrading to Natty also
converts gnome-panel custom launchers (including custom icon) into unity
side bar items. Unity needs a simple way to add custom launchers to the
side bar. There is currently a workaround [1][2] which is not very user
friendly.
