Editor for the gnome3 dash board contents (F20)?

[Joachim Backes]

Hi all,

I think this item has been discussed several times, but I did not find
any answer:

anybody knows how to add entries to the gnome3 activities dash board
(screen, left side)? In gnome2 it's possible by alacarte, but this won't
do what I need in gnome3: Add an own shell script to the menu entries.

All comments are welcome

Kind regards

You need to create a *.desktop file for the script. Then you can add the 
activity to your customized list, as you would with any other program.
