Bug Description

The "Disk Usage Analyzer" application is missing from the applications place.

There appears to be a problem with the way that Unity applications place uses .desktop files...

The /usr/share/applications/baobab.desktop and ~/.local/share/applications/baobab.desktop files both exist, but Unity ignores them - the "Disk Usage Analyzer" application is missing from the applications place.

If I put a copy of baobab.desktop in ~/.local/share/applications and change the Categories line then the "Disk Usage Analyzer" application IS shown in the applications place. See the npw.baobab.desktop file attached.

Having to find and edit .desktop files is well beyond the capabilities of many users.

Missing applications is an important drawback for an application launcher!

Thanks for reporting this bug and help to make ubuntu better.

The patch isn't the right fix. We ignored this application on purpose in lucid for UNE and I think unity copied it and is ignoring it too in the place applications. We should fix that.

might have something to do with the fact that baobab was hidden from the
netbook-launcher too and unity was initially for netbooks.
