I have the same issue with the gThumb icon. The following might be useful to anyone attempting to fix this bug.

3 systems (Ubuntu 11.04), one: 64bit (nVidia video), two: 32bit (netbook=intel video, desktop=ati video):

I have resized the Launch pad icons on all three. On the 64bit, and one 32bit (netbook) the gThumb icon can be dragged successfully to the launcher.

On the 32bit desktop (installed from scratch, identical to the netbook, same install disk) the gThumb icon does not show. If I copy the /usr/share/applications/gthumb.desktop file to my home directory (~/.local/share/applications) [and change permissions to "me," though that was for editing, it probably doesn't have anything to do with the problem], then drag that file to the launcher, the icon appears.

Hope that helps someone.
