Jan Rathmann (kaiserclaudius) wrote : No launcher icon for Gimp windows

Hello,

today I came across a weird bug of Unity when I tried to use Gimp.

Here is how I can reproduce it on a clean guest session:
- Start Gimp. It will show a launcher icon as expected.
- Close Gimp.
- Start Gimp again.

Result: The Gimp-icon appears in the launcher for a short time and then vanishes even though Gimp is still running of course (see also attached screenshot)! Also Gimp windows are not listed in the window switcher (Alt+Tab).

I have found no way so far to make the launcher show a Gimp icon as usual. This bug was not present in Oneric's version of Unity. Unity-2D seems to be not affected.

Kind regards,
Jan
