I added the alarm-clock application which I use extensively. However, after full examination of all the choices in the dashboard displays, I cannot find it to launh it. The alarm-clock applet does not allow me to import a previous list, and since I can't start this application, I don't know whether it does either at the moment.

I will try to start it from the console.

I also added alarm-clock and cannot launch it via Dash as it does not show up there. Synaptic and other Software center list it as installed, launching it via alt+f2 and command line works as well. Locking to launcher works too.

After installing, it locked itself to launcher, I unlocked it, but I do not know if it is related.
