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/
yes, that is almost perfect! Adding an "add to launcher" option or
button would be a slight improvement. Also, when you run something
without a .desktop file this could be in the quicklist for the temporary
launcher icon for it, so it fills in some of the information to make the
icon permanent.
