Bug Description
I had two installations of an application - one in ~/example1/bin, and one in ~/example2/bin (in the middle of updating versions of this application)
The application in example1 has been locked to the launcher. I removed this launcher with "Unlock from launcher", and then started the application in example2 via a terminal. I right clicked on the icon in the launcher and selected "Lock to launcher".
When I terminated the application, the launcher started the *old* version of the application in example1 - rather than the version which was running when I selected "lock to launcher".
Expected behaviour is that the new version of the application is locked to the launcher.
(Fix was to manually edit the .desktop file in ~/.local/
