Public bug reported: I had installed Avant Window Navigator on 12.04 to overcome the demential mixing of icons in Unity's launcher where launcher icons to open new applications are stupidly mixed with icons of existing open or minimized windows (because Apple does it doesn't mean it's a good idea).
I have upgraded to 12.10 and Avant Window Navigator has been uninstalled. I see no reason for uninstalling a software that the user has installed. Especially when nothing has been done to make it unnecessary (the way icons are organized in Unity's launcher hasn't been improved the slightest bit).
