[Sugar-devel] [PATCH Sugar] Extend sugar-launch with more options

[Martin Abente]

Anyways this patch does not change what sugar-launch already does (right?),
just gives it more options that can be useful even though we don't use it
for what i need in upstream (whenever rainbow is back).

Any good reason to not include it? :)

What we could do, however, is to offer a simple HTML widget in
