The script does create an icon in dash home, but does launch the program.
Any ideas guys ?

i'm trying to come up with a good .desktop file for sublime text 2, but middle click isn't opening a 2nd window, and when I specify an Exec line with --new-window sublime opens 2 windows to start!
Is there any way to specify a different command line when you middle click (shift click etc) on the unity launcher?
I wrote a custom .desktop file that contains an Exec line
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
(...)
Exec=gksudo /my/path/to/bash_script.sh
(...)
This script launches some zenity calls.
Then I made this desktop file to appear in unity-2d launcher side bar.
My problem is every time I use this launcher shortcut it keeps asking for my password...
I have vim.desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications/ directory with these lines:

I downloaded and installed Eclipse JUNO in Fedora 17, KDE desktop and created an eclipse.desktop. The icon does appear in the Application.Development section but it does not open when selected. I am able to open Eclipse on the command line.
I'm following this tutorial located here on how to create a launcher for eclipse in unity.
I have been trying to make a launcher with a quicklist item for 'root file browser' using command 'gksudo nautilus'. After I updated to this launcher in the unity sidebar, each time I click the icon (which still points to the normal nautilus for left click) a separate nautilus icon appears elsewhere in the sidebar with the title 'Files'.
Hope this is in the right place and I apologize in advance if it is not.
Many people would like not to have to open a terminal or have more granular control over permitions that can be achieved using PAM permissions(read the man pages for PAM for more information) and the consolehelper.
