Bug description:
Doesn't happen 100% of the time, but quite easy to tackle:
test case
1. start a non pinned app e.g. system monitor
2. open terminal and type 'killall bamfdaemon; /usr/lib/bamf/bamfdaemon
What happens:
you see two icons of system monitor in launcher
-> This case is fixed, but:
For example, try to run an application with no desktop file (i.e. Xclock,
valkyrie...) then kill bamfdaemon: the icons will be duplicated.
I just using mail client - thunderbird, I close it. When I open
thunderbird again, next icon appears in unity, while both icons
forwarding to this one instance of thunderbird. After right click on
the icon in unity panel, there is blank line instead app name on the
newly created icon. I guess it'll happen with more apps.
Another case:
TEST CASE:
1. open a single instance of an application
2. killall bamfdaemon
-> when bamfdaemon will respawn, 2 arrows will appear on the launcher,
alt-tab think there are two instances as well.
Not that in 5.4, some icons are doubled (no more double arrows)
Unity Issue test case:
1. Open gnome-control-center
2. killall bamfdaemon
libbamf issue test case:
1. Open xclock
2. killall bamfdaemon
expected:
-> when bamfdaemon reconnect, only one instance in launcher/alt+tab is seen.
