To the best of my knowledge, all shortcuts in the Unity Launcher have a corresponding *.desktop file. I have one shortcut (for skrooge) that doesn't have an icon. How can I find the *.desktop file corresponding to this shortcut so that I can add an icon to it?

It's probably sitting in /usr/share/applications/ but if you want to find every .desktop file on the system run this:



find / -name '*.desktop'


or



sudo updatedb
locate *.desktop


To find files with "skrooge" in their path or name, add a grep to the command:



locate *.desktop | grep -iR "skrooge"
