Title:
  cannot drag and drop app to launcher

Status in Unity:
  Expired
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I am no longer able to add an app to the launcher by dragging and
  dropping it from the Dash Home to the launcher panel. I used to be
  able to do this until I made the following changes.

  1. Using the nvidia settings manager, enable a second monitor using twinview.
  2. Move the second monitor left of the main monitor and set the main (original monitor) as the primary for that X session.
  3. Apply settings.
  4. Open the system settings app. Go to Displays.
  5. Change the setting for the launcher placement to only be on the main display instead of all displays. Note that the launcher is now on the left edge of the right monitor, so crossing the middle of the desktop.
  6. In Dash Home, search for an app. Drag and drop the launcher to the launcher panel.

  I expect this to lock the app to the launcher as it did before
  enabling dual-monitors, but it instead adds it as an icon on the
  desktop underneath the launcher. Since it is underneath the launcher,
  I cannot delete it without opening the Desktop directory in Nautilus
  and deleting it from there.

  I have an nvidia graphics card and am using Unity 2d. This is Ubuntu
  12.04. My system is up-to-date. I searched for this bug and did not
  find it reported. I did not find the package name for the launcher so
  I am reporting as Dash, but feel free to adjust the identified package
  if it is incorrect.
