Adding byobu to the launcher and upgrading removes it from the launcher

[Dave Morley]

STEPS:
1. Install xenial
2. Install byobu in the xenial and pin it to the launcher
3. Switch to all available in update
4. Run update-manager -d
5. Get a notification that 16.10 is available
6. Upgrade

EXPECTED:
I expect to see byobu still in the launcher on upgrade

ACTUAL:
Byobu is removed from the launcher, it can be re pinned to the launcher an then it will stay.

Hi,
what kind of desktop environment / launcher are you using?
I'd consider it more likely to have to be debugged in the launchers scope than for byobu - so I'd like to address the right package.

This is a problem with Gnome, as best as I can tell.

+didrocks, who might be able to help?

I think this is fixed with newer Byobu (at least the LTS version). Please reopen if not.
