I have the same problem on freshly installed 15.10 with recent upgrades. To me it happened for instance after installation of gimp, texmacs, streamtuner2... Unity seems sort of slow: for some time I have to call the program from terminal, then suddenly the program starts being recognized by Unity. The problem should have a high priority because it interrupts workflow and gives a feeling that the graphical interface is buggy. New users can decide that Ubuntu is downright buggy and not work using, especially if told that to launch a newly installed application they have to open a terminal and type a command in it.
