Sorry, run:

Yes
Now how do I launch it from unity?

Sounds like the command the icon runs is out of whack. What is the output of:

grep Exec /usr/share/applications/glabels-3.0.desktop

Thanks

Try removing the %F from the command. You will need to run:

gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/glabels-3.0.desktop

To get write access. Save the new file and close gedit and try the icon in Dash.

Ran gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/glabels-3.0.desktop and removed the %F from the command and saved the file.
That part of the file now looks like:
Exec=glabels-3
Icon=glabels-3.0.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=GTK;Office;
StartupNotify=true
MimeType=application/x-glabels;
Still does not run from the icon on Dash
