Bug Description
If I open some applications, for example, the terminal, and then I right click on its icon on the launcher and choose "Keep In Launcher" and close the application.
When I try to reopen that application again by clicking on its icon on the launcher, the application opens, but the icon on the launcher is duplicated, as if there are two instances on the application are running.
When I close that application, the duplicated icons remain on the launcher.
If I try to open it again, another icon will be added to the launcher making them all three icons.
I have to right-click one of those icons and remove the "Keep In Launcher" option, while the program is running, and then close it, in order for those multiple icons to disappear.

This might probably be an issue with Oneiric, but in Precise I can't reproduce this, neither with terminal nor with gedit.
