This looks like another workaround for "users are not able to use the
dash to find applications". In the previous cycle we already cluttered
the launcher with a control-center icon, which now causes the default
launcher to already overflow by default on netbook screens.  Now this
proposes to stuff _all_ new applications into the Launcher, but does not
teach users how to get rid of them again. This will make the launcher
even less useful and more cluttered.

Seriously, let's please stop adding more workarounds to the dash. If
user testing showed that the dash is too hard for new users, then let's
rather design a "first time" dialog/help to show how to use it properly.
Like this we penalize all users all the time, instead of just asking
beginner users to learn this once.
