Public bug reported:

This is a usability issue in 2 parts:

1. I would like to add a Launcher icon for git-gui, however when I use
the 'Lock to Launcher' option and close the GUI, the launcher icon
disappears.

2. There is no easy way to create a custom launcher icon
(Creating a .desktop file in a non-obvious location is not an easy way! Not least because I have no idea what icon to use, and the default icon is uuuugly!)

I'm assuming my system info is filed with this bug via apport, but just
in case, I am on Ubuntu 14.04 (Unity 7)
