This is the expected behaviour. All programs are only incorparated with their icons in unity dash panel, when they are installed from software center.
When you whant to have an different behaviour, please attach here over "Also affects project" the Unity upstream project and ask to mark this here as wish. I set it to incomplete, set it back to new when you have done the step desribe above or when you have no interest let it expire. Thanks for reporting. ** Changed in: recordmydesktop (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1030572 Title: RecordMyDesktop not showing in Unity launcher when running in Ubuntu 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/recordmydesktop/+bug/1030572/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
