Bug Description

Unless someone reads the Release Notes or has been reading the Ubuntu news, they'll have trouble finding Additional Drivers in Quantal.

This could be fixed somewhat by adding Keywords to the .desktop file. Too bad it's too late to do that for Quantal. We need to try to remember to add Keywords "breadcrumbs" when we move things around.

I like the idea that was proposed on ubuntu-desktop: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2012-November/004117.html

"We can add back the "Additional Drivers" .desktop file, but change the Exec line to "software-properties-gtk --open-tab=4"

I have updated the merge proposal with pitti's suggestion:
* copied the jockey desktop file with its icons from jockey trunk (it gets installed with software-properties-gtk)
* renamed it to additional-drivers.desktop
* removed the control center panel category
* updated the translation domain

While this is fixed in Ubuntu, it's still a problem for several flavors (Lubuntu, Ubuntustudio) and would be a problem for Xubuntu if it didn't ship it's own desktop file for the "Additional Drivers" item. In order to help others, something such as the one attached could be used (and thus dropped from Xubuntu.)
