[ubuntu-uk] costume launcher on unity?

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

Hello,

I was having problems to get my web cam working under skype.
Luckly I found

http://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/video-is-not-working-on-Ubuntu-11-10/td-p/216792

I just need to run this in the comand line:
sh -c 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
/usr/bin/skype "$@"'
What ever that means and the video now works!

But I now need to set it up in a nice button for my wife to use it and to
get my sister an easy way in.
Previously I was able to setup a costume launcher but I am new to ubuntu
11.10 and I cannot find how to do it.

I tried this. but the shortcut does not show on the desktop.
