Add program to the application launcher widget in KDE plasma desktop for Kubuntu 14.04

  • 772

I would like to add Ipython qtconsole (for Python3) to the application launcher in the bottom panel at the KDE plasma desktop. I currently have three applications in the launcher:

  • chromium browser
  • Ipython qtconsole (Python2)
  • konsole

Se below screen shot:

The problem is that I cannot remember how I added these applications in the first place. Now I would like to add Ipython qtconsole. If I right-click on the konsole icon in the laucher it pops up a menu with to items Icon settings and Panel options, but none of these sub menues allows me to modify the application launcher.

(The path to Ipython qtconsole is /usr/bin/ipython3.)

kubuntu
