Bug Description
Plank version: 0.5.0
Distro: elementary OS Luna
WM: Gala
I develop an application called nightingale. It's based on XULRunner. Due to some truble with XFCE we discovered, that Plank doesn't show Nightingale when launched from the commandline (just the nightingale command) sometimes, or just an application with the executable icon and no title.
STR:
- install nightingale from ppa:nightingale
- launch nightingale by typing "nightingale" into the console
Expected results:
Nightingale shows up in plank with its icon and window title (optimally as instance of the pinned .desktop file).
Actual results:
Sometimes the window isn't registered by Plank, sometimes it shows up with the default executable icon and no title.

I can't reproduce this anymore, however I've got an additioanl docked version of Nightingale after a reboot, which I simply removed. It seems that there was a hidden dicked version, that didn't show up until I installed a different version of the package and rebooted.
