Bug Description
[Original Description]
* After upgrading to Oneiric Ocelot Beta 2, the menu item for 'Pointing devices' (gpointing-
[Impact]
* This change allows users of Unity to find gpointing-
* It also allows users of other desktop environments to find the program in their launchers (if they read .desktop files).
* This change only removes "OnlyShowIn=GNOME;" from the .desktop file.
[Test Case]
* apt-get install gpointing-device settings
* Attempt to search for it in the dash
* It should be found in the dash results.
[Regression Potential]
* Very low. It is a simple change to the .desktop file of an optional package from universe.
* Users will never see this change unless they have intentionally installed it. In that case, they'd want to be able to find it in their dash/launcher.
[Other Info]
* This change is already merged into raring.
