Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, Gnome. How do I add application icons on the top panel?

This is what I had on Precise:

This was on Precise

And this is what I have on Trusty:

This is on Trusty

I tried icon dragging and the right click, but they only launch the application.

EDIT: note that this question is about Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, the thing that worked in previous releases (such as Precise) does not work anymore.

  • That looks like gnome-flashback - therefore this is a duplicate with the answer there that will work

    The 2011 answer is irrelevant. The Alt+Click thing does not work in Trusty (did you try it yourself?) Please undo the duplicate mark. Apr 21, 2014 at 10:55
  • if you are using flashback with compiz note the comment - its Meta + Alt + right-click and yes, I did check before marking as a duplicate.

    SOLUTION: sudo aptitude install gnome-session-flashback, then log in choosing the compiz flashback. Still no idea how that would work without flashback. Apr 21, 2014 at 11:11
  • With Ubuntu Gnome, not Ubuntu with Gnome flashback, this method does not work. I could find no combination of any modifier keys with right click that worked. I personally am very well aware of the old method, but it simply does not work. Some of you need better reading comprehension. May 5, 2014 at 1:52
