I copied my panel launchers verbatim from 8.04 to 10.04, residing in both systems in the same path:
$HOME/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers
However, for some reason, they are not visible on 10.04's GNOME panel.
Why?
In my attempts to troubleshoot the problem I:
- Verified that copied 8.04 launchers have same permissions as manually created 10.04 launchers (-rwxr-xr-x).
- Added the first line as: #!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
- Logged off, then logged on.
- Rebooted.
None of the above helped. So the question remains: Why?
And how do I make them work?
