Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

I clicked an install-suggestion icon from Unity while I had the software center already open. This was followed by multiple crash-dialogs, although both installs seem to have gone through just fine. (one was underway in the previously opened window, and I initiated another one in the newly opened window)
