Create an application launcher in gnome3 fallback mode - F15

[Kevin Wilson]

Hi,
I have a laptop on which I have fedora 15. This laptop is not strong,
so I prefer having gnome-3 fallback mode on it.
I tried to create an application launcher on the desktop.
when I click the right button, when the mouse is on the desktop,
nothing happens.
With Fedora 14, this opened the "create launcher" dialog.

rgs,
Kevin

Alt right click on the menu bar will allow you to add launchers to the
menu bar.

With gnome-tweak-tool installed right clicking on the desktop revels an
option to create a launcher. However, I am not using fallback mode

Have you installed and used gnome-tweak-tool already?
I don't use the fallback mode, but gnome-tweak-tool offers an option
to "Have file manager handle the desktop", and I guess that also works
for fallback mode.
