i installed oneiric ocelot, , can't figure out how add application, stored in home directory, dash. can create launcher, want in dash also.

one way use add entry in menu's alacarte install alacarte.

  1. install alacarte if isn't already: sudo apt-get install alacarte
  2. open alacarte typing run prompt (alt+f2)
  3. click new item , fill in name , command.
  4. click ok , close alacarte.
  5. application should appear in dash search.

edit: solution doesn't work on new version ubuntu 13.04.
