Hi Jan,

Glad you got it sorted out! :) To place a shortcut onto your desktop,
you won't be able to drag it from the launcher onto your desktop, but
you can drop an icon onto your desktop through the unity dash.

Robin, sorry to hear that. :( You did not mention if you have already
reinstalled libreoffice, if you haven't, try that. If it still doesn't
work, perhaps you can try and see if there is a local desktop entry
sitting in your home folder under ~/.local/share/applications and remove
it. The last thing that I can think of if that fails, is to setup a new
user, and see if the problem persists. If the problem still persists,
then I would recommend filing a bug on http://www.launchpad.net.

All the best,
