Title:
unity://running-apps position in launcher ignored during startup

Bug description:
IN SHORT:
The position of unity://running-apps in the dconf setting
/com/canonical/unity/launcher/favorites is being ignored during
startup (login).
DETAILED INFORMATION:
I will explain this using an example, which makes it easier to explain
and understand.
Suppose that I have Nautilus and Firefox (+ workspaces and devices) pinned to
the Unity launcher, in that order.
When I open, for example, gedit, its icon appears below Firefox.
"dconf read /com/canonical/unity/launcher/favorites" returns:
['application://nautilus.desktop', 'application://firefox.desktop',
'unity://running-apps', 'unity://expo-icon', 'unity://devices']
If I move Firefox's icon to below gedit (not pinned), any new applications
that I open that are not pinned appear above Firefox's icon, even after closing
gedit.
"dconf read /com/canonical/unity/launcher/favorites" now returns:
['application://nautilus.desktop', 'unity://running-apps',
'unity://expo-icon', 'unity://devices', 'application://firefox.desktop']
'unity://running-apps' represents the applications that are not
pinned, and defines where those applications should appear in the
launcher. At least that's what it looks like.
The problem is that, after restarting the session or rebooting,
'unity://running-apps' is ignored, and apps that are not pinned appear below
the last "application://..." icon, even if it's the last one.
But "dconf read /com/canonical/unity/launcher/favorites" still returns:
['application://nautilus.desktop', 'unity://running-apps',
'unity://expo-icon', 'unity://devices', 'application://firefox.desktop']
The "favorites" are also maintained in gsettings:
"gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites" returns the same
results above.
IMPACT:
Because of this bug, users cannot pin applications to the "bottom" of
the launcher, as unpinned apps will always appear below the last
pinned application.
