As a workaround, you can also right-click applications in the Application Menu (Kicker) widget and click "Add as Launcher" in the context menu.

Thanks for the reply. If that worked I would already be mostly pleased. However, I only have the option to add a program as favorite. There's no option to add it as launcher. "Add as Launcher" only works if a compatible Task Manager (the bundled ones are, of course) is found in the same panel. If widgets are unlocked "Add to Panel" and "Add to Desktop" also become available. I tested with the default Task Manager and with the Icons-only Task manager, and the options you mentioned are not showing up. I don't now if this may, or may not, be related to KDE Plasma packaging on Kubuntu 15.04 or if it is a general problem. However, I think that if it indeed a general problem, maybe it's better to open a new bug just for that, Note that Application Menu (Kicker) is distinct from Application Launcher (Kickoff). The former is not the default, but generally more capable. (In reply to Eike Hein from comment #5) > Note that Application Menu (Kicker) is distinct from Application Launcher > (Kickoff). The former is not the default, but generally more capable. My apologies! I was using Kickoff instead of Kicker. Kicker shows up those options. Shouldn't Kickoff do the same? ^ That would be nice, especially since Kicker 5.3 added even more features like per-application recent documents. I'm hoping to find the time to basically throw out the code behind Kickoff and port the Kickoff UI to Kicker's backend. As for the actual bug here, this regression was introduced in KDE 4.11 originally (for the Task Manager). It's not hard to fix, if the git version of Qt didn't decide that today would be an excellent time to start crashing during DND ... Git commit 6adfb466d1322feaec8352a477313982de496097 by Eike Hein.

So this will only be present on 5.4, right? Not before it. Yep. |
