Thanks for the fast response but no it doesn't. There is nothing in
System Settings, even after installing CompizConfigSettings Manager,
that supports access to what I specified above. I want control of the
text and icons for applications in the Launcher.

Using the "Classic" i.e. Gnome 2 desktop one is able to right-click the 
icon and edit the properties associated with the application. All I want 
is that level of functionality in the "better" Unity desktop.
