Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
On trying to drag-drop a shortcut to the BasKet Note Pads application from the application search menu, the operation appears to be recognised by Unity (i.e. when the icon is dragged over the the launcher, the icons move aside to accommodate the new shortcut). However, when the mouse is released to drop the shortcut onto the launcher, it does not appear and the existing icons move back to their original locations. On examination of the launcher, no shortcut to BasKet Note Pads has been added anywhere. On further investigation, attempting to add shortcuts for any other KDE application installed on my system results in the same vanishing problem while other GTK/desktop independent application shortcuts can be made.

I can confirm this. Try installing Konsole or any KDE app and dragging it from the Dash to the Launcher does not work.
