Martin Eve (martineve) wrote : Python applications do not work correctly in Unity launcher

Binary package hint: unity

What happens: running a Python application, such as Kabikaboo gives a Unity launcher entry. Right clicking this entry and selecting "keep in launcher" keeps the item in the launcher as expected. However, when the application has been closed, clicking this launcher entry will not restart the program. Furthermore, these launcher entries do not seem to persist after logout/login.

Expected: Applications that are "kept in launcher" should persist between sessions and clicking the icon should launch the application.
