Linux4One - Adding Custom Launchers

At first it wasn't obvious to me how to add icons for custom applications (ones that don't automatically install their own launchers) to the excellent Linux4One launcher interface on my Acer Aspire One.

Basically, the launcher uses the underlying main application menu in Ubuntu to populate itself so all you have to do is add your custom launchers to the main menu to have them display in the launcher.

You can do this by clicking on 'Preferences' in the main application category menu on the left hand side of the Linux4One launcher and click the 'Main Menu' icon which will give you a window where you can easily add the required information to launch your custom application.

Pictured below is a screenshot of my updated Favourites pane with an added icon for Slingplayer which runs pretty well under Wine.
