Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

Software Center version 3.1.25, the Natty Narwhal

When electing to "Add to Launcher" for a purchased app (in my case, Volley Brawl), the application does not actually get added to the Unity launcher at the end of installation as expected.

Following output on the command line tells the tale:

2011-04-05 19:04:07,044 - softwarecenter.fixme - WARNING - logs to the root logger: '('/home/tremolux/Projects/natty/software-center_review_mmcg_star_tweaks/software-center/softwarecenter/utils.py', 327, 'convert_desktop_file_to_installed_location')'
