Bug Description
Unless someone reads the Release Notes or has been reading the Ubuntu news, they'll have trouble finding Additional Drivers in Quantal.
This could be fixed somewhat by adding Keywords to the .desktop file. Too bad it's too late to do that for Quantal. We need to try to remember to add Keywords "breadcrumbs" when we move things around.

This has not been released to Raring yet, it only has been committed to the trunk of the source code repository, resetting status to Fix Committed.

While this is fixed in Ubuntu, it's still a problem for several flavors (Lubuntu, Ubuntustudio) and would be a problem for Xubuntu if it didn't ship it's own desktop file for the "Additional Drivers" item. In order to help others, something such as the one attached could be used (and thus dropped from Xubuntu.)
