Title:
  No chance to modify launcher icons/apps with unity -easily-

Status in Unity:
  Opinion
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  There is no easy way to modify appearance of app launchers (icons,
  text) or even add a new app into the app pool.

  Years ago gnome panel had alacarte as a right click option to edit the
  launchers.

  For new users it is impossible to guess that they need to install
  alacarte to modify icons. Google even leeds them to modify .desktop
  files directly in their home directory. That is sad.

  It is the year 2013, please make it possible to do these actions
  easily from the unity panel.
