Bug Description
We want to be able to change what application shortcuts are displayed in the home screen easily.
At the moment the dash's home is described in the following QML file: /usr/share/
Implementation plan:
1. Extract in a separate QML file /usr/share/
Flow {
[...]
}
}
2. Make Unity 2D try to first load a customized version of the shortcuts file that would be optionally present at /usr/share/
3. If the customized version fails to load, load the standard version present at /usr/share/

I have a few comments about the proposed impl:
- This seems like a good idea if there is time. There should be a property in HomeButtonAppli
- If not time a simpler solution that we discussed would be sufficient. That is when loading Home.qml first check for an alternative Home.qml in a given location (i.e. /usr/share/
