yes, this is all 12.04. The apps lens is nasty, if you have a hundred or
so applications it just presents a few in the installed apps category,
which you can expand to see a random heap of stuff. The dash is great if
you know the name of the application you want, and like to type it. If
you want to go to the apps lens and browse throught the applications you
have no idea what an application does because it is not in a category.
Filters are the wrong place to put the categories.
