Comment 13 for bug 705007

Unless the unity-launcher-editor is invoked from the right click menu on the icon, I don't see how this (or Ubuntu Tweak) is more than a klugey workaround. If you really don't like calling it Properties, call it Edit. But whatever you call it, to satisfy some questionable 'KISS' principle, without this ability the UI is damaged. As simple as possible is a worthy goal, but please, no simpler.

How is the right click menu on launch icons generated? Is it in one of the hidden files somewhere? If so, at least this functionality could be added by some experimental tweak, then if it becomes popular there will be pressure to mainstream it.
