Bug Description

Get Pycharm from http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/
1. run pycharm3.1 from shell (pycharm3.1/bin/pycharm.sh)
2. click Pycharm icon and lock it to launcher
    quit Pycharm
3. Clicking icon now runs Pycharm 3.1
4. Unlocked Pycharm icon
5. run pycharm3.4 from shell (pycharm3.4/bin/pycharm.sh)
6. click Pycharm icon and lock it to launcher
7 quit Pycharm
8 Clicking icon now runs Pycharm 3.1

8 is unexpected - it should run Pycharm 3.4 as it is this program I locked most recently to the app launcher.

9 Renaming the Pycharm 3.1 directory:
10 clicking the Pycharm icon now fails to start any program
11. Run Pycharm 3.4, and lock it
12. clicking Pycharm icon still fails to start any program.

ADDITIONAL SUGGESTION: right clicking on icon could bring up a properties menu, when selecting that one can see and edit what clicking the icon will run.
