namebench - Launcher Missing from Unity's Applications Menu

[Lonnie Lee Best]

I installed namebench in a previous version of Ubuntu, but have recently upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 beta 2 (unity desktop).

The only way I can launch namebench, is by going to the command prompt and typing 'namebench' (no quotes).

Typically, in the unity desktop, you'd be able to hit your super-key, and then start typing the first few characters of an application's name (or purpose), and you'd see its launcher appear.

I'd expect to be able to find namebench, by (hitting the super key and then) typing "name", or "dns". However, neither of these result in finding a launcher for namebench; you must manually launch it from the command prompt.

Someone, who knows how to, should get this application to be available via a launcher from the Unity Menu System.
