Public bug reported:

When applications close and re-open their window and BamfView changed
its path, the child cache of BamfView does not reload its children and
continues to work with the old cache, which does not contain any
children. The application icon in Unity then does not do anything
(cannot raise the application window, activate a minimized window or
Alt-Tab to the window).

This problem shows up for us mainly when using the Citrix Receiver, but
other applications can trigger this too.

This problem exists in Trusty and Yaketty (maybe older versions too, I
haven't checked those), and the attached patch fixes the problem (fixes
the handling of the reload_children boolean).


I think the following bug report might be the same problem:
