Bug Description
[TEST CASE]
1. Launch the current Ubuntu Software Center in Precise.
2. Search for the Deja Dup package.
3. In the list displaying the Deja Dup package, click the "More Info" button.
4. If Deja Dup is installed, click the "Remove" button to uninstall it.
5. Click the "Install" button to install it.
6. Enter the password for the install if prompted.
7: At the very *end* of the installation process (when the progress bar has completed), verify that an icon for DeJa Dup has been added to the Unity launcher.
8. Right click on the Deja Dup icon in the Unity launcher and choose to "Unlock from launcher" to remove it.
9. Close Ubuntu Software Center.
10. Update to both the software-center *and* unity packages in precise-proposed.
11. Repeat steps 1 through 6.
12. This time, at the very *end* of the install process, verify that no icon has been added to the Unity launcher for Deja Dup.
[REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
Risk of regression is very low. Probably the only thing you might watch for would be an unexpected exception reported. If anything like this occurs, of course, please note it in the bug.
---
When I installed GNOME-Shell and the OGRE-SDK both got added to the Launcher, which is ridiculous since none of them can be launched in this manner.
