Bug Description

Binary package hint: deskbar-applet

It would be nice if a deskbar search for e.g. 'gobby' would suggest
installing the package if it's not already installed.

I think 'just search for it' has some advantage for ui. Jane says 'oh
you should just try Banshee', but Juan doesn't have it installed by
default in Gutsy...
