Alacarte recommends gnome-panel since that's what provides /usr/bin/gnome-desktop-item-edit which is what implements the dialog to create a new item. Maybe we can breakout that binary into it's own package? $ dpkg -S /usr/bin/gnome-desktop-item-edit gnome-panel: /usr/bin/gnome-desktop-item-edit Then the quicklist could just call: gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new ~/.local/share/applications/ -- Andrew Starr-Bochicchio Ubuntu Developer <https://launchpad.net/~andrewsomething> Debian Maintainer <http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=a.starr.b%40gmail.com> PGP/GPG Key ID: D53FDCB1 -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~unity-design Post to : unity-design@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~unity-design More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
