[dash] Search in dash provokes a crash of the applications place daemon

[Lucazade]

Search in dash breaks application place launcher.

As soon as I type something in search input, application place launcher disappear from
launcher sidebar and never come back.
I should logoff and login to get the application place launcher back.

That means that the unity-applications-daemon crashed.

[Neil J. Patel (njpatel)]

In Unity if you click again it'll cause the daemon to come back up, it won't remove the icon.

@Neil: please, remember to revert master and slaves tasks (will r :)

(I will take a look to sync latest state, but it's not as straightforward on the logic side as it could be)

So in the event of a crash of the applications/files place daemon, the corresponding place entries should remain in the launcher. Clicking them will bring up the corresponding daemon if necessary (through D-Bus activation).

Anyone got a trace of the crashes from the apps place daemon?

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

@Mikkel: I have never personally observed this crash. All I did in unity-2d was to make sure that it behaves like unity when such a crash happens (tested by just killing the daemon).

I don't have this issue anymore.
