Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop
Running crossover pro 9.0 installing using a deb file the installation works perfectly as does installing MS office. The menus in the Gnome classic desktop work as they should. However, with the Unity desktop the "all applications" menu in the dash does not show Crossover Office or installed Windows applications (as it does in Gnome classic). If the applications are found by displaying all the installed applications the icons wont start the crossover applications or Windows applications, similarly they wont work if dragged to the launcher.
I found a work round see http://

Same problem in 11.10 but work round much more problematic due to no Gnome desktop.
For a few users this is going to cause real pain - no problem in the awesome desktop the menus work in the same way as Gnome
