> 1) If you add an app that has an icon in unity and so on, if it does not appear, it should be filed as a bug.

the issue is that "the .desktop name should match the command name" is something which is in practice often false and not a documented standard but an hack, we aim at better quality and avoid hacks nowadays.

dragging from the launcher doesn't work but dragging from the dash or the application lens should work, i.e click on the ubuntu logo in the launcher to open the dash, type "gedit" (for example), dnd the gedit icon to the gnome-session-properties dialog, it should be added with a proper name or icon. You can do the same from the application lens without having to type anything in the dash
