Title:
  desktop files added from subdirectory don't persist in launcher

Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Wine creates .desktop files in a subdirectory of
  ~/.local/share/applications/.  ie:

  ~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/Microsoft Office/Microsoft
  Office Word 2007.desktop

  When added to the launcher, they appear fine but disappear after
  logging out and back in.

  Doing gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites gives:

  ['nautilus-home.desktop', .... , 'wine-Programs-Microsoft Office-
  Microsoft Office Word 2007.desktop']

  Note that the '/' has been converted to '-'

  setting gsettings to:

  ['nautilus-home.desktop', .... , 'wine/Programs/Microsoft
  Office/Microsoft Office Word 2007.desktop']

  Allows the launcher to persist in the launcher favorites bar.

  This bug should be corrected so that the '/' is not converted to '-'
