[Bug 723861] Re: Right clicking on the desktop still displays the “Create Launcher...” option.

 

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 launchers.
Leaving it as it is, would basically render the complete Unity panel
useless.

I do agree that creating custom launchers on the desktop is probably a
bad idea. I also agree that it did make sense to remove that function.
But I very much disagree that there is no replacement needed - There's
now now no convenient method to add custom programs to the panel.

How about an option on the panel itself to create a custom launcher in
there?
