Title:
  Unity has no method to maintain properties of launchers

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in Quicklist Editor for Unity Launcher:
  New
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  In Unity I would like to have multiple icons for one application in
  the same way that I do on my classic GNOME desktop. One points the
  standard application binary, another has parameters appended. Right
  now I'm told that the user has to maintain .desktop text files as
  there is no GUI for setting this.

  In GNOME 2 we were able to maintain the 'properties' of a launcher
  with Right Click -> Properties.  Can this functionality be ported to
  Unity please?

  Use case 1: Mark is a web developer and needs to test sites under
  multiple personalities (admin, user, non-authorised user) in Firefox.
  This is achieved with multiple profiles, each with their own cookies,
  add-ons, cache etc.

  firefox -profilemanager

  Use case 2: Andy is a systems administrator and uses ssh frequently to
  access a set of known boxes

  ssh kwak.example.com
  ssh faustino.example.com

  Use case 3: Alan is testing some software, and would like to always
  run it in debug mode so that he can give the verbose results of his
  testing to the developer

  tomboy --debug
