[Bug 1486494] [NEW] gnome-control-center does not come with a .desktop file so cannot be pinned to dock without the manual creation of a .desktop file for it

 

Public bug reported:

As the gnome-control-center does not come with a .desktop file, this
means that when trying to pin it to dock (as I use Docky, however this
would be the same with any docking program) you find that you are unable
to unless you manually create a .desktop file for it either in
"/usr/share/applications" or "~/.local/share/applications". So it would
be really useful if it could come with a .desktop file so that these
manual changes don't have to be made. I am running Ubuntu Gnome 15.04,
with Gnome Shell, and Gnome 3.16.
