unity cannot create items for user-installed programs by itself and gnome-desktop-item add function crashes
I have added a non-Ubuntu program.
There is no way to add an icon except to do the following:
gnome-desktop-
This works, except that it forces you to accept the default icon, which is gnome-panel-
If you try to change the icon, it crashes.
