** Description changed: Watching a first time user using Ubuntu I noticed at min 12:50, that she tries to drag & drop the calculator icon to the launcher. It doesn't work, but I think it should. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgGbZfR6Vec Being able to add programs to the launcher in different ways improves the UX for average users. For them an icon represents a program and being able to D&D it to the launcher is logical.
