I'm maintaining the PC of an old relative. The person shall not have the possibility to unlock a Launcher-Icon by means of "Unlock from launcher" in the Quicklist (in former Ubuntu versions it was named uncheck "Keep in Launcher").
Is it possible to remove or disable (greyed out) "Unlock from launcher" in the Quicklist of a Launcher-Icon?
I have been searching how to make that happen but i can't find it anywhere. I even guessed how to enable/disable the quicklist item, so as how to add function invoked after the item is clicked, but that's all. Any ideas?
I want to make a quicklist for my app which will consist of checkboxes or radio buttons. I found info how to add items without associated action to the quicklist (tutorial) but that's all I found, there is no information how to add other types of items (checkboxes, radio buttons, horizontal dividers or item with associated action) which are mentioned there. I'm trying to get something like this.
I previously edited my quick lists for my home folder when using Ubuntu 11.10 (As described at OMG Ubuntu).
I upgraded this weekend to 12.04 and now have duplicates of several folders (downloads, videos, pictures, etc) as quick links. I've tried editing the home folder launcher file (well, I just removed them) but this was only effective until I rebooted the desktop - at which point the file was remade as before.
Any ideas as to how I can remove the duplicates permanently?

How can I get a vertical list of currently open files in the unity launcher as a quicklist (see mockup below)? This could be a list of files each application instance is editing, or in the case of browsers/terminals/other apps just a list of application instances, so that one can easily toggle between them without getting the visual expose-like view of all open files/apps. This is especially critical when you have 10+ instances open and want to navigate through them by name, not visually. In other words, similar to the way Win 7 stacks open instances of an application in one icon, where right-clicking brings up a list of open instances.
If this is not possible to achieve directly with the unity launcher, what is the next easiest way to mimic this functionality without installing new panels, changing desktop environments, etc? I'd like to leave unity the way it is, but just want this critical feature.

Also see bug #817302 and task switching discussion on canonical design.
I'm developing a program in Qt that will help users to manage (create, edit and delete) their quicklists in Unity launcher.
I got to a point where I created .desktop file and I don't know how to programmatically place that file on Unity launcher.
I found two (bad) ways to do this:
So, I'm searching for a function or a system command that is called on first 'drag and drop' method so I can do it in my program without need for user to do it manually.
I don't even know where (or how) to search for my solution so any suggestions will be helpfull.
