This is definitely still happening. I just did a fresh install (today) of 11.10, updated all available updates including proposed and I still see the blank/missing icon problem. When I drag it from Dash to launcher it will just create an empty space. Also When I fire the app up from Dash it won't show up in launcher. I'm not sure which apps are affected but it seems to me that it is fresh installs that are affected. After a reboot they work as expected.
To reproduce: 1. Install anything with a GUI from Software Center, do not restart 2. Open Dash and drag the icon of the app to the Launcher 3. Icon is missing, only an empty space is visible 4. Remove the empty icon and launch app from Dash, Launcher won't show the running program, neither will it show an empty space. 5. Try again to drag the icon from Dash to launcher, now it won't stick at all, not even an empty icon. 6. Try Alt+Tab to the running app, it wont show up. Expected: Icon should be visible after adding the app to launcher. To fix: A login/logout will usually fix this problem and icon is again visible, sometimes a reboot is needed. Seems to me like something is not triggered after install. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772986 Title: Unity launcher single missing/invisible/blank icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/772986/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
