Bug Description
How to reproduce:
1. Run gnome-session-
2. Add Tomboy (via the add button)
What happens:
Well, Tomboy is added and runs the next logon. But the icon is not visible nor is it possible to add it manually.
What should happen:
Well, I would like to see an icon next to Tomboy, as I see for example for System load applet
There are two solutions: one is to use gtk software selector: bug 140918
Other is to somehow hint the user that she can drag and drop icons from unity
See attached screenshot for how it looks like (applications with icons were added in 11.04 and earlier I think)

Thank you for your bug report, where do you suggest it would take the icon to use information from in those cases?
