Bug Description

test case

1. start a non pinned app e.g. system monitor
2. open terminal and type 'killall bamfdaemon; /usr/lib/bamf/bamfdaemon

What happens:
you see two icons of system monitor in launcher

I just using mail client - thunderbird, I close it. When I open thunderbird again, next icon appears in unity, while both icons forwarding to this one instance of thunderbird. After right click on the icon in unity panel, there is blank line instead app name on the newly created icon. I guess it'll happen with more apps.

Ubuntu 11.10 64bit, updated.
