I'm attempting to use the 'home icon quicklist' from What Custom Launchers and Unity Quicklists are available?

I've checked perms and the like, but I'm no expert on quicklist syntax so I figured I'd ask here since others may be having this problem if they've done an inline upgrade from Lucid or Karmic.

After logging back in, the icon disappears completely as if there's some type of syntax error.

I'm pretty sure the OnlyShowIn line might be affecting it - is this the case and which lines can I safely nuke from the "Gnome" list before the desktop shortcuts? Is there a specific log file I can tail to take a look at why this might be failing?

Removing this line and readding to the dock seems to have fixed the problem:

OnlyShowIn=GNOME;

You can also edit this line as follows:

OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity;

    The single line OnlyShowIn=GNOME; should be the only one needing removed, the others although not required are useful. – Cas May 03 '11 at 16:03

    That seems to be true. Alternatively you can also add "Unity;" to the end of the OnlyShowIn line - it acts as a semicolon-delimited list. – AvatarKava May 03 '11 at 17:58
  • Funnily enough I was reading the desktop entry specs and found that. – Cas May 03 '11 at 18:19
  • Could you edit your answer to reflect this change in resolution. – Cas May 03 '11 at 18:36
