FYI: I still need to run the fix after each LibreOffice-Update in Ubuntu
12.04 with LibreOffice ppa enabled.

> If Calc or Draw is locked to launcher, all is normal.
> Opening a specific application via the dash works as normal too.

> A white generic "Liberoffice" icon appears - not the proper application

> cannot be clicked to switch to any open instance. There is no way to switch

>
> Close LibreOffice.
> Open a file directly again.

> Case #2
> Now the proper icon appears - but with an empty hole in between launcher
> and icon. If more documents are opened the white triangles appear and
> alt-tab still works, but the hole remains. Sometimes the hole is two icons
> wide.
>
> Close LibreOffice.
> Repeat.
