creating and running own lens causes failure to load external images

[Eric Rasche]

Following the tutorial here (http://developer.ubuntu.com/2012/04/how-to-create-a-wikipedia-unity-lens-for-ubuntu/), I created my own lens.

However, I noticed the wikipedia icon didn't load. I continued on. After installing another lens I noticed images didn't load there.

So I restarted my X server, and ran the *already installed* lens I had written. Images now loaded for everything.

After running `sudo quickly install` and `quickly run` for the extension after making changes, all externally requested images now failed to load.

I'm seeing "WARN 2012-05-22 16:39:47 unity.iconloader IconLoader.cpp:536 Unable to load icon <URL> at size 64: Operation not supported"
 in other tests.

Did you end up fixing this? I have the same problem :/

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

Durand, No I'm afraid I've not found a fix yet. Sorry.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately we can’t work out how to recreate this bug from your description. Please describe the process you go through to trigger this bug and then change the bug status to NEW. See this page for more information. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BigDesktopBugScrub

The tutorial page no longer exists. I'd like to be able to reproduce this bug, but can't find documentation on how to create a Unity lens.
