Still a problem in Ubuntu 12.04. Specification updated.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter?action=diff&rev2=660&rev1=659>

** Description changed:

  User testing of Ubuntu Software Center consistently shows that some
  people think they can launch an application by clicking the screenshot.
  
  This problem has previously been observed by people testing on-screen
  help. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuHelp/UsingScreenshots> I thought I
  could get around it in USC 3.0 by showing only a small clickable
  thumbnail, but that isn't working. So, we need to try something else.
  
  In usability testing of Ubuntu 12.04 beta, one of the 15 testers still
  clicked on the screenshot. "I can't open it. It's a bit weird."
+ 
+ <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#gallery>: "To emphasize that it
+ is a gallery, the gallery should include thumbnails of each item even if
+ there is only one. The currently displayed media, and each thumbnail,
+ should each appear inside an inset border, with the border of the
+ focused item highlighted."

** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Triaged
