(Get the code!)
Yeah, I think the fix here would be that Unity monitors the full range of aptdaemon events throughout the installation process, so that even when Software Center is shut down, the Unity launcher will continue to respond to the events until the install is completed.
A necessary requirement for this fix is that Software Center sends the Unity launcher dbus signal at as close to the exact moment the installation begins as possible. Currently, we have a Software Center branch in review that fixes four high-target bugs (see bug 925014 and its attached branch for details), but unfortunately this new branch delays the sending of the launcher dbus signal until the very end of the install process. So, if a person closes Software Center during an install, the item will not get added to the launcher at all.
Again, the fix will be to have Unity monitor and react to all installation events. Once we have that, we can revert the delaying behavior in Software Center again.
Cheers,
Gary
