Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:
Install e.g. the askubuntu lens:
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:askubuntu-tools/ppa
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install unity-place-askubuntu

Expected result: a new tile appears in the launcher for the newly installed AskUbuntu lens
Current result: nothing happens. After killing the launcher, it is automatically restarted, and then the lens is present in the launcher.

Changed in unity-2d:
status: New → Confirmed
importance: Undecided → Medium
importance: Medium → High
