Bug Description

There are several cases in which it is desirable for quicklists to dynamically update their entries while visible:

 - If a favorite application is running and only has one window, if pressing Alt+F4 to close the window while the quicklist for this application is open, the static entries in the quicklist ("Keep in Launcher", "Quit") should be updated/removed accordingly.

 - Since revision 563 in the trunk, dynamic quicklists are supported (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/LauncherAPI#Dynamic%20Quicklist%20entries). An application may update the dynamic entries at any time, including while the quicklist is visible, in which case the contents of the quicklist should be updated too.

Steps
1) When application tile is clicked
2) While the application is still launching
3) Yet application is not launched completely

Right click on the same application tile.

It displays "Remove from launcher" action and no 'Quit' action.
The same menu is displayed at (3), i.e when application is launched completely.

In fact, above bug can be still reproduced, when the launcher context menu is open and the same application is launched from other ways. Say from 'Terminal'.
I don't know if it is a valid use case though.

Week 39 - Same issue observed on Unity 2D-ubuntu 12.04 Precise with ppa:unity-team/sru

The quicklist does not get updated. This issue can be reproduced while opening an application or while closing using Alt+F4.

For Example: Click on terminal icon on launcher and quickly right click on terminal icon to open quicklist, observe that the quicklist does not get updated after terminal application has been opened completely.
Same can be reproduced by launching an application, open the context menu of the same application tile in launcher, Hit Alt-F4.
Observe.
