Re: Custom Launcher

Hi Jon,

The current Launcher helps create Shortcut to access manually installed 
programs for those applications where there are no automatic entry being 
added in Application Menu Item. For example Thunderbird 3 is not 
available in Ubuntu's repo, but i need to use it and hence i install the 
same manually in /opt/thunderbird folder. In the existing system there 
are no automatic menu entry created for these type of installations. 
Menu entries to launch these applications are created manually thru 
Launcher. With the changes in Gnome3 menu, i was wondering if there is a 
way to add Menu entry for manually installed application.


Regards,
Vasanth Kumar
