Bug Description

1. Calibre icon not locked to Unity launcher
2. Launch calibre from dash

-> Calibre launches, but note that the running status is not indicated by the white triangle in the launcher

3. Switch to a different window
4. Click calibre's Unity launcher to return to calibre

-> This does not work: The launcher pulses as if a new instance of calibre was launched, but in fact it isn't. Unity does not switch to the existing calibre instance.

5. Hit Alt+Tab

-> The calibre window is not listed in the Alt+Tab overlay

6. Hit Super+W

-> This works and is currently the only way to switch to calibre, for me.
