Can't find an icon to launch Ubuntu Tweak on Ubuntu 14.04
I've installed Ubuntu Tweak on Ubuntu 14.04 and I can only run it by going to the terminal and typing ubuntu-tweak.
There's no icon in the drop down menu. I installed GNOME flashback so I am just trying to get a launcher icon somewhere in the launcher. It's not in system settings either.

1) Installed right ?
First, let's reinstall the package :
sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-tweak
sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:tualatrix/ppa && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak
2) Desktop file
If that didn't work, let's make sure Ubuntu Tweak installed his .desktop (launcher, kind of).
Please verify if you have the output "yes" with the commandline :
[ -e /usr/share/applications/ubuntu-tweak.desktop ] && echo yes || echo no
if the output is "yes", you can try :
sudo chmod +x /usr/share/applications/ubuntu-tweak.desktop
if the output is "no", or if it still doesn't work, then, do this commandline :
sudo wget http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=ENWxyiPU -O /usr/share/applications/ubuntu-tweak.desktop && sudo chmod +x /usr/share/applications/ubuntu-tweak.desktop
3) Manually add a menu entry
If both methods did not worked, we're going to try to manually add a shortcut. You'll need alacarte:
sudo apt-get install alacarte
alacarte
Create a new menu entry :
Name: Ubuntu-Tweak
Command : ubuntu-tweak
Icon : /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/ubuntu-tweak.png
