  Launcher - Apps launched from terminal or without a .desktop file
  cannot be launched after pinning to launcher

Bug description:
  What happens: running a Python application, such as Kabikaboo gives a
  Unity launcher entry. Right clicking this entry and selecting "keep in
  launcher" keeps the item in the launcher as expected. However, when
  the application has been closed, clicking this launcher entry will not
  restart the program. Furthermore, these launcher entries do not seem
  to persist after logout/login.

  
  -------------------------
  Desired Resolution:

  
  - Applications that are "kept in launcher" should persist between sessions and clicking the icon should launch the application, even if they do not have a .desktop file.
