Ubuntu – How to make Nautilus launcher _with_ quicklists behave like normal nautilus launcher in Unity

I followed this question:

How to add my favorite places as a quicklist in my home's icon in Unity?

And created the launcher. It's pretty good, as you can see here:

But when I click it (be 'it' itself or any of the shortcuts) another launcher, the dull one, gets to represent nautilus in Unity, as you can see here:

I even backed nautilus.desktop up at /usr/share/applications so and then copied my custom launcher to this system folder — but it still doesn't work!!!

So, what can I do?

Best Answer

I did't copy /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop to ~/.local/applications and just worked on the original file.

gksu gedit /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop

Afterwards I pulled the Nautilus/File Manager starter from /usr/share/applications to the launcher. Even worked after a reboot.

As you only add something at the end of the file it's easily reversible.
