Once you start it does it appear in the launcher?  If so then right
click it on the launcher and select Keep in Launcher (or something
like that, I forget the exact words) then it will stay there.  If it
does not appear in the launcher then submit a bug.  Also submit a bug
for the fact that you cannot find it in the dash.
