I want an app icon for smart git.

I can create one on my desktop with

$ gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/ --create-new

enter image description here

and selecting the smartgit.sh app. That works for an icon on the desktop.

How can I move that icon / create a new one in my applications toolbar (so not just on the desktop)?

In my case that is the Unity applications toolbar (which I've moved to the left).

I've tried dragging and dropping it there but it didn't work.

I can make it appear in the dash home by adding an entry this way New App doesn't appear in Unity dash but I still can't move it to be an app icon in the apps toolbar.

Blender has weird fuzzy misbehaving icon in launcher

as seen on Ask Ubuntu - Search for 'Ask Ubuntu'
I got Blender 2.58 (stable) from blender.org (downloaded the package, extracted it). Everything works fine, but the only thing that bugs me is that the icon in the launcher (when I open it) is really fuzzy. I guess that's no big deal, but when I select "Keep in Launcher" and close Blender, the icon… >>> More
