Is there any way to add any app I wish to the top panel in Ubuntu 12.04? e.g, I have dropbox, mail, wireless and sound icons there. I'd like to add for example terminal, google earth or any app there.

Also, what's the shortcut for the task manager, that shows the processes and some specifications of the computer?

If you are using GNOME panel then you can add any application in there. All you have to do is Super+Alt+Right Click in panel. Click Add to panel and then select Application Launcher and click forward.

Then choose your desired application from list and click add.

You are done.

You might want to pose the two questions as two different ones. As for adding an app in the top panel, if you are using Gnome classic, you can simply drag the specific app from the drop down menu under "applications" onto the top panel.

To see the processes, you can choose "system monitor" from under application -> system tools.

If you just follow these instructions:

  1. open the application, the application will appear in the launcher on the left side,
  2. now press Super/Window + Alt
  3. then right click on the application on the launcher and click on lock to launcher.

Now the application is permanently locked to launcher.

this helped me:

  1. start the application so the app icon appeared in the Launcher
  2. super/win + right click on the app icon in the Launcher (no Alt pressed)
  3. click "Lock to Launcher"

my system: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
