Comment 4 for bug 723861

Using "create launcher" on desktop is an easy way to create a custom Unity-launcher:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/13758/how-can-i-edit-create-new-launcher-items-in-unity-by-hand
(see second answer which starts with "This is a method without editing config files and without root privileges.
First create the Launcher on the Desktop (only temporary)")

Will there be another easy way to create custom launchers (including command line options) without this option?
