Libreoffice writer does not appear in the unity panel when opening a document

[Roccivic]

After a fresh install of 11.10, whenever opening a DOC or ODT document, the icon for it is missing in the unity panel (see attached screenshot). Also, libreoffice's window does not show up when hitting ALT+TAB.

Some info for my system:
