I've got a long list of Ubuntu updates and am currently running 13.04. Webapps also didn't work in the beginning of 13.04 and do work now a bit.

My issues:
1) Chromium asked for every single site if I want to use the Unity integration, despite I answered yes or no I was prompted again for that site
2) Chromium never created an icon (i.e. desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications
3) Gmail integration in messages indicator didn't work
4) no "Installed Websites" settings in Chromium settings
5) browser app mode didn't work (still saw all the browser menus)

What I did:
I only deleted "~/.config/chromium/Local State" as it contained legacy video card settings

Now
- Chromium only prompts for Unity integration for supported sites (issue 1 solved)
- I see the "Installed Websites" settings in Chromium settings (issue 4 solved)
- browser app mode works (issue 5 solved)

To get the desktop files created I use Firefox and open the url - Firefox prompts for Unity integration and creates the desktop file (issue2 solved).

Gmail integration in the messages indicator still doesn't work. As a workaround I edited applications under com.canonical.indicator.messages with dconf-editor and added GMailmailgooglecom.desktop. My application string now is:
['empathy.desktop', 'thunderbird.desktop', 'skype.desktop', 'GMailmailgooglecom.desktop']

I can launch now Gmail by clicking the icon in the messages menu but unfortunately the unread email counter still doesn't work. I'm still digging into this.

Chromium is my default browser and if I launch a webapp the Unity Launcher doesn't highlight the webapp's icon but the Chromium icon instead. So this is still an issue.
