Watching a first time user using Ubuntu I noticed at min 12:50, that she tries to drag & drop the calculator icon to the launcher. It doesn't work, but I think it should.

Being able to add programs to the launcher in different ways improves the UX for average users. For them an icon represents a program and being able to D&D it to the launcher is logical. Therefore this feature should be added.
