Binary package hint: unity

When a launcher icon is dragged out, it generates lots of disk write activity

TEST CASE:
0. Preliminary step:
   0.1 - Install the package sysstat
   0.2 - From a terminal run the command: iostat -d1
1. Roll over the launcher
2. Select an icon and hold the left mouse button to start a drag
3. move the icon around

Result:
See the amount of data written to disk increases significantly.

Here is the output on my system:
