Q:

Sublime Text 2 doesn't stay pinned to the launcher

I use Sublime Text 2 in Ubuntu.  The program downloads and runs on it's own without an installer (sort of like a portable app, I guess).  When I pin it to the launcher, it only stays until I restart the computer.  Then I have to dig it up again and repin it.  This wasn't an issue in 11.04.

A:

It won't stay in the launcher because it doesn't have a *.desktop file.  You can create a *.desktop file by hand (surprisingly complicated!) or you can simply use some guy's PPA to install Sublime Text 2.  (The package includes the requisite *.desktop file.)
