Sorry the bug come back.
I install a new Ubuntu 12.04 beta. At the first launch, it's OK.
I'm happy and write the message upside.

But now, i launch Dash, i write Libreoffice i chose the white and gray icon (like this one: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:LibreOfficelogo.svg) And i have the follow screen.
After this evenment i lost the icon. I don't know if this two element is linked or not.

This morning, i change the name Legacy StarOffice 5 Binary Format Importer in /usr/share/applications (see the comment # 5)
And the icon come back.
But, after stop my pc and restart ubuntu, i launch libreoffice and the icon disapear again. In /usr/share/applications no new file with name of Legacy StarOffice 5 Binary Format Importer
:-(

[Mozaic (mozaic)]

If i go to the soaftware-center and seek Legacy StarOffice 5 Binary , i found a packet wich name libreoffice-filter-binfilter 1:3.5.2-2ubuntu1.
I delete and i have the icon.

[Mozaic (mozaic)]

I try in virtualbox a fresh install o Ubuntu 12.04. There are no icon's problem.
I add LibreOffice Legacy StarOffice 5 Binary in Soaftware center, the icon is still here. But after a restart, the icon is not here.

I will change the bug description.

Likely yet another bamf issue with bamf being confused by the /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/xdg/binfilter.desktop file.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Daniel Ejsing-Duun (zilvador)]

Possibly a duplicate of bug 950655 and bug 883708

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0)]

It happens that BAMF could use /usr/share/applications/libreoffice-binfilter.desktop instead of libreoffice-startcenter.desktop... The problem is caused by the fact that they both define the same Exec.

I could hardcode a fix into BAMF, but it would be really better if the distro would take care of fixing this by just including into libreoffice-binfilter.desktop the flag:
 NotShowIn=Unity;

[Björn Michaelsen (bjoern-michaelsen)]

Binfilter is gone in 4.0/raring -- closing.
