> 1) If you add an app that has an icon in unity and so on, if it does
not appear, it should be filed as a bug.

the issue is that "the .desktop name should match the command name" is
something which is in practice often false and not a documented standard
but an hack, we aim at better quality and avoid hacks nowadays.

> Dragging from the launcher to the startup applications dialog does not
work if you are talking about that (nor from the dash).

dragging from the launcher doesn't work but dragging from the dash or
the application lens should work, i.e click on the ubuntu logo in the
launcher to open the dash, type "gedit" (for example), dnd the gedit
icon to the gnome-session-properties dialog, it should be added with a
proper name or icon. You can do the same from the application lens
without having to type anything in the dash

** Summary changed:

- Startup applications (aka  gnome-session-properties ) should show icons if possible
+ Startup applications (aka  gnome-session-properties ) should use the gtk software selector

Title:
  Startup applications (aka  gnome-session-properties ) should use the
  gtk software selector

Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  How to reproduce:
  1. Run gnome-session-properties (or alternatively via session indicator run "Startup applications..."
  2. Add Tomboy

  What happens: 
  Well, Tomboy is added and runs the next logon. But the icon is not visible. 

  What should happen:
  Well, I would like to see an icon next to Tomboy, as I see for example for System load applet

  I am not sure this is a bug in gnome-session-properties, but most of
  my applications do not have an icon so clearly something is wrong here
  (I suspect only applications that added themselves have icons) See
  attache screenshot.
