[Locked] Launcher autobuilder for cairo-dock

Hello. I have been using glx-dock for a while, and it always caught my attention that I had to build every launcher on the dock by hand. This can be time consuming and onerous. I believe an application that translates xfce/gnome/lxde/kde/younameit menu configuration syntax to dub-docks and launchers would make conversion easier for people that already uses certain desktop-environments. It would be easier, then, moving some launchers/sub-docks and deleting others at own discretion by drag and drop to make a customized and complete dock. I'm no veteran coder, but such app seems to be not a difficult thing to do, either.

So, I would like feedback from coders and users alike. And hope my suggestion is pertinent and constructive.

Hello,

If your desktop environment and your video drivers support the drag'n drop feature, it should work! If you drop any .desktop file on the dock a new launcher should be created.

you can see an animated arrow when you can drop a launcher (taken from the Menu) inside the dock.
