Bug Description

A picture is worth a thousands words... No picture as you can see and clikcing the button above "Listen To Music" does nothing.

Ok, after doing some investigating - I have discovered what the problem was. I am running 11.04 beta 1 and when banshee 1.9.5 was iinstalled the desktop files in the /usr/applications folder are named "banshee.desktop" but the home.qml file in the /usr/share/unity-2d/places folder has it down as "banshee-1.desktop". I made the change in the home.qml file and now the icon is there and clicking it brings up banshee now.

Thanks for the investigation Aritchie!
This issue should disappear when we implement showing the user’s preferred applications in the dash home screen instead of hard-coded desktop files (tracked by bug #708479).

Changed in unity-2d:
importance: Undecided → High
milestone: none → 3.8.2

Note that in Natty the executable for Banshee was renamed from "banshee-1" to "banshee", but it was not updated in the list of default applications shipped with gnome-control-center. I filed bug #750058 to track the issue.
