[launcher] Closed applications don't get their launcher counts cleared

[Mike Conley]

I'm not sure if this is a libunity issue, or a Unity 2D issue. In either case, this new behaviour just cropped up.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Run an application that causes the launcher to display a count
2) Cause a count
3) Close the application

What happens:

The count remains.

What's expected:

The count should disappear, since the application is now closed.

I can confirm this with both Evolution and Thunderbird.

Mike, are you using unity-2d? I just tried to reproduce this problem with evolution in Unity and the emblem vanished as soon as I closed the app.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

sorry for the noise it seems you already mentioned in the bug report that you use Unity-2d. moved to unity-2d

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

I can reliably reproduce with empathy.
