Ubuntu – How to make KeePass2 work correctly in the Unity launcher

Create Launcher for Terminal Application

Right click on the desktop and select Create Launcher from the menu:

Choose Application in Terminal and give the desired name and command to run (in this case vim).

Then simply drag and drop this icon on the Unity Launcher:

Simplest method:

(1.) Remove (undock) the current icon from Dash.

(2.) Use Unity to find this application (firefox).

(3.) Drag icon to Unity panel, then right-click on icon and select 'Lock to Launcher'.

Assuming that doesn't work ..

There should be a file firefox.desktop located in:

/usr/share/applications/

This should start with: (simplified for clarity)

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Firefox Web Browser
Comment=Browse the World Wide Web
GenericName=Web Browser
Exec=firefox %u
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Icon=firefox
Categories=GNOME;GTK;Network;WebBrowser;
  :

Also delete any customised copy of firefox.desktop you find in:

~/.local/share/applications/
