Bug Description

I run some applications over wine.
In case of SQLYog, after lauching it, unity does not shows the SQLYog icon on the laucher. It shows the wine icon.

So, to add a SQLYog laucher icon on unity's laucher of the Ubuntu-11.10, I used to find SQLYog on the dash, and drag & drop it to the unity's launcher.
So I could lock it on the launcher.

On Unbuntu-12.04 it does not works.
I can add the (wine's) SQLYog icon on the laucher. But, after restarting Ubuntu, the icon isn't there.

I see to options to solve that problem:

1)
When starting an application over wine, it should be shown the application's icon instead of wine's icon.

2)
After drag & drop the SQLyog icon into unity's launcher, it should be possibile to lock that icon, and it would still be there after a system restart.
