Unfortunately you can't drag an icon from the launcher onto the desktop.
Instead search for the application in the application lens or the dash an drag the icon from there onto the desktop.

Hello reader! Welcome to my profile. I'm a devout Christian and I'm interested in writing, reading, learning about computers and technology, and, of course, Ubuntu. I'm also attempting to learn Python and I know a teeny bit of JavaScript. Erm, not much else to say besides that.

everyone. OK, I have what may be a very simple question--how do I take an icon from the Unity Launcher that I had locked there, and move them onto the desktop? I have tried everything I can think of and cannot get it to work, the icons just slide back the Launcher!
