I think this bug is the same problem I have with adding my eclipse start
script to the launcher. I have eclipse extracted in a local home folder,
and I created a simple bash script which just goes to that directory
(via 'cd') and runs the executable. Running this from any console works
(I've added the script's location to my PATH), and when the app
initially shows up in my launcher it soon changes/switches to another
launcher and the initial one disappears. Permanently adding either of
these two launcher entries to the bar works, but neither functions as
expected (actually starting up the application).

I don't think this problem is specific to Netbeans or any other
application: the basic problem is we have no documentation on Unity that
allows us to create custom launchers. Even the sparse documentation I've
found in various threads online points to looking at the
~/.local/share/applications or /usr/local/share/applications folders in
order to copy already existing .desktop files. Neither of these
locations exist. The location /usr/share/applications contains .desktop
files, but these look to be the default files that each application
installs and are not the actual files related to the launchers actually
on my system.

Where are the files related to the unity launchers?
