Create Launcher option disappears...

[shantiq]

on my new Oneiric desktop when i right-click i get offered a restricted set of options at the moment


see below


no create launcher
no resize icon



how can i set it back to all options offered?

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-panel

Save this script as Create_Desktop_launcher for a right click nautilus script item.

#!/bin/bash

gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/Desktop/ --create-new

Place in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/ and make executable.

The resize icon is there when you click on a desktop icon.

While that command works, it is insufficient in the vanilla 11.10 install because it uses a gnome-panel binary that does not exist in your install. I know because I ran into this myself.

You can either install gnome-panel, or if you want the ability to display and edit the menus using the former Ubuntu look and feel, you should install alacarte.

You can find either using the Ubuntu Software Center.
