LibreOffice Writer do not shows up in UNITY Launcher

[vikas]

LibreOffice Writer do not shows up in UNITY Launcher. It does not even shows up in window switcher. This is valid when the window is in any of the modes, Minimized, Maximized or Unmaximized. unity --reset solves the issue temporarily. But the issue reappears when LibreOffice Writer is relaunched.

As I already wrote in my bug report (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/884683) this only happens with .odt files. No problems with other file types. Also, the bug is present in Unity 2D as well, so it seems it is not a compiz bug.

The bug is not present in Ubuntu 11.04, so it could be caused by the transition to LO 3.4 or Gnome 3.2.
