Comment 173 for bug 1026426

I am using LO 4.2.2.1 and at last update I had problems with icons got
duplicated when more than one document were open.

I found out that under ~/.local/share/applications I had old
.desktop-links - and unity uses those in your home folder prior to
those in /usr/share/applications

Now I don't have problems with icons any more.

> A white generic "Liberoffice" icon appears - not the proper application icon (eg a green one for Calc, a yellow one for Draw). If more documents are opened, no more wee triangles appear and the icon becomes useless: it cannot be clicked to switch to any open instance. There is no way to switch to it if the window is minimized, as now LibreOffice no longer appears in the alt-tab switcher.
