How to have programs located in /home into the launcher
I've just moved up to 12.04 from 11.10. Unfortunately, there's an old version of the Seamonkey browser in USC and I want the latest. So I got it here: h t t p : / / download.
It was a tar archive which I extracted to a folder in my home directory. When I double-click on a script called "seamonkey" in the Seamonkey folder, I'm asked if I want to display or run the script. If I choose "run", the Seamonkey browser is launched and its icon is visible in the launcher.
The problem is this: I can lock the icon to the launcher but if I quit Seamonkey, the icon remains in the launcher but doesn't function at all.
Am I having this problem because Ubuntu expects to have programs installed in /usr/sbin or wherever? I would prefer to have Seamonkey totally installed and running from within my home folder. I'm the sole user of my computer (but not an expert user of Linux).
