Gnome 3: add link to dash

[tombaugh]

In Fedora 14 I used to have some links to often used folders in the top panel, and now I would like to have some shortcuts in the Gnome 3 dash. I tried adding a custom launcher to the applications menu using alacarte, but it doesn't show up there. There is, however, an entry in alacarte-made.desktop. Is there any way to accomplish this?

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Link
Icon[en_US]=gdu-unmountable
Name[en_US]=dev
URL=/home/pieter/dev
Name=dev
Icon=gdu-unmountable

Thanks!
