Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop

Running crossover pro 9.0 installing using a deb file the installation
works perfectly as does installing MS office. The menus in the Gnome
classic desktop work as they should. However, with the Unity desktop the
"all applications" menu in the dash  does not show Crossover Office or
installed Windows applications (as it does in Gnome classic). If the
applications are found by displaying all the installed applications the
icons wont start the crossover applications or Windows applications,
similarly they wont work if dragged to the launcher.

I found a work round see
