cannot launch app from messaging menu anymore

[Bill Filler]

touch image 082713
indicator-messages 13.10.1+13.10.20130822.5-0ubuntu1

You can no longer select the app icon on the right of the menu item in ubuntu-touch to launch the app. Previously you could select the app icon and launch the source application

Steps to reproduce:
1) send a text message to the phone or call it and don't answer
2) pull down the messaging menu and click on the icon on the right of the text message/missed call entry

Expected results:
- should launch the source application (phone-app in this case)

Actual results:
- no application is launched

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Update on progress: Unfortunately not as much as I'd like.

Basically haven't been able to get Unity8 to activate the base action. I don't see it coming trough on bustle. We tried changing the name to include "indicator" but that didn't help.

I think in the morning (if someone doesn't beat me to it) I'm going to try to set it to a well known action name just to see if we're not finding the action for some reason. Also, the actions are fairly long and include things like phone numbers "+1..." so the naming of the action could be an issue.

After talking with Nick and Lars we think that this might get fixed in the transition of the messaging menu to unity menu model, which is expected to land pretty soon. We're going to let that land, and then revisit this bug.
