app spread only shows shadows of apps, no content

[Oliver Grawert]

on arale rc-proposed i'm hitting a bug in the spread since a while where apps do not have any content in the spread overview anymore but only show their shadow ...

the image at http://i.imgur.com/r7tnyym.png shows the issue, as you can see the two front apps do not have any content but show only their shadow ... tapping on such an app to foreground it restarts it properly and the content is visible in the spread again.

i do not see this behavior on krillin..

http://paste.ubuntu.com/11877271/ is the content of ~/.cache/upstart/unity8.log (just look for the bits before the imgur upload call)

I see this sometimes too.

I had a couple of apps "ghosted" on arale latest rc-proposed image.
If I tap them they come to the front but transparent, like the screenshot is missing.

After a few seconds the app wakes up again (is restarted) and it appears.

One way to reproduce:
* open terminal
* tap on Ctrl+D

Terminal's gone, but ghost remains. It seems either of upstart, ubuntu-app-launch, application manager don't notice the app gone away.

So we got a fix for it in untiy8.
The terminal case from comment #3 is actually bug 1485608

I am assuming this landed?
