Doing gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites gives: ['nautilus-home.desktop', .... , 'wine-Programs-Microsoft Office- Microsoft Office Word 2007.desktop'] Note that the '/' has been converted to '-' setting gsettings to: ['nautilus-home.desktop', .... , 'wine/Programs/Microsoft Office/Microsoft Office Word 2007.desktop'] Allows the launcher to persist in the launcher favorites bar. This bug should be corrected so that the '/' is not converted to '-' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1033577/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages Post to : dx-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
