Installing Skype package (from skype.com) via software center creates unclickable icon in Unity dash. Bug happens only with Unity and Software Center. Installing package via gdebi or dpkg works fine.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Download skype-ubuntu-precise_4.3.0.37-1_i386.deb from skype.com
2) Open it with software center (software center should be started as normal user, not via sudo to reproduce bug)
3) Press install button
4) Open dash (press super key), do not type anything (clear search field if there is something there).
5) Skype icon will be in recently accessed applications (strange, because it was never launched, seems software center adds it there).
6) Left click on it will no start skype. Nothing happens on left click. Right click will show document icon, instead of skype button. There will be no "Launch" button.
7) It is possible to start skype by doing following: Start typing "skype" in search bar. Now icon will become clickable. Right click also will work correctly (skype icon and launch button present).
8) Open dash again after starting skype. Clear search field. You will two skype icons: one is correct and clickable, second is not.
9) If you uninstall skype, this wrong icon which does nothing will be left in the system, only correct icon will be removed. It is possible to remove wrong icon by going to "Security & Preferences" and pressing "Clear usage data" there.
