Public bug reported: Binary package hint: unity-place-applications
Hello, Yesterday I updated from ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04. Since then I have had problems with the unity launcher. During sessions I added applications to the launcher, for example banshee and pidgin, by clicking and dragging. I made sure the option "keep in launcher" was checked for each app. Also I removed firefox and ubuntu one from the launcher, and rearranged applications. Yet every time I log out or reboot my computer, the launcher is resetted to its default settings. Firefox and ubuntu one, are back in the launcher; banshee and pidgin are gone and the order of the applications on the launcher are restored. What can be possibly be the problem? Furthermore I could not add chrome to the launcher by dragging. I found a thread on http://fossplanet.com/f10/%5Bbug-771172%5D-%5Bnew%5D-custom-unity-launcher-entries-not-local-share-applications-137031/ . I tried the same by moving google-chrome.desktop to /usr/share/applications , and then it DID work, and I could add google-chrome on the launcher by dragging. Yet still when I rebooted, the settings of the launcher were restored and google-chrome removed. I have got no idea what the origin of the problem could be. I searched the internet and the forums intensively, but I haven't found anyone with the same problem yet.
