LibreOffice Calc and Draw are not coming up on the launcher properly as of a few weeks ago (can't remember exactly when).

If Calc or Draw is locked to launcher, all is normal.
Opening just Calc or Draw via the dash works as normal too.

However, problems arise if you open a document directly (from the dash or double clicking in Nautilus) when there is no icon pinned to the launcher:

Case #1
A white generic "Liberoffice" icon appears - not the proper application icon (eg a green one for Calc, a yellow one for Draw). If more documents are opened, no more wee triangles appear and the icon becomes useless: it cannot be clicked to switch to any open instance. There is no way to switch to it if the window is minimized, as now LibreOffice no longer appears in the alt-tab switcher.

Close LibreOffice.
Open a file directly again.

Case #2
Now the proper icon appears - but with an empty hole in between launcher and icon. If more documents are opened the white triangles appear and alt-tab still works, but the hole remains. Sometimes the hole is two icons wide.

Close LibreOffice.
Repeat.

Case #1 now reapers, and it will go back and forth ad infinitum.

Note that I don't get this problem with Writer or Impress, which is pretty werid. I've tried this with LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 and the PPA version (currently 3.5.5.3). I've also tested using lo-menubar and not, but it makes no difference. I've also tested it on two separate computers using Precise and purged all of LibreOffice and reinstalled... all to no avail.

Thanks.
