Bug Description

Ubuntu Natty daily live 20110404

1. Launch an application, that takes a long time to launch, from outside the Launcher or Dash. For example:
    - In the live session, launch "Install Ubuntu" on the desktop.
    - Open a Gimp document in the file manager.
    - Go to <http://www.google.com/search?q=filetype%3Aodp>, choose a result, and choose "Open with LibreOffice Impress".

What happens: Apart from a busy cursor, there is no launch feedback for the application.

What should happen: Launch feedback is shown the same way as it would be if the application was launched from the launcher or Dash.

Problem occurs with: unity 3.8.2-0ubuntu1
Does not occur with: gnome-panel

This is not a duplicate of bug 893140. That bug report is about clicking on a Launcher item. This bug report is about when you launch an app in any way that is NOT clicking on a Launcher item.
