@Sergio, the listing of installed apps has no dependency on the network
being available or talking to the server working. The timeout that deals
with the network not being ready for available apps, is only set up and
used by the network-using code. However, the Unity API for invalidating
results does not have any fine grained control, so it will invalidate
all results for the apps scope. This means that when the timeout is hit,
a search for installed and available apps will recur. The installed apps
should continue to be there. They might flicker (go away and come back),
due to the way Unity works, but they should definitely not be going away
and not re-appearing.

I was staring at the code for quite some time and trying to figure out
how the situation described in this bug was even possible, and I see no
way it can happen, from within the scope itself. I can only guess that
something in libunity or the dash itself, is not properly re-displaying
the results.

However, a full log with the debug info is needed to help determine
that.
