Binary package hint: unity

When I launch an application written in Python with Pygame modules (python-pygame), an icon labeled Pygame (v2.7) appears in Unity launcher instead of an icon of launched application. When I put application to launcher and run application again using icon from the launcher, a window of Gnome Terminal with Python interpreter is launched.

I test this with my own Pygame application (https://launchpad.net/noctua-vagus), Pygame example application (/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pygame/examples/chimp.py) and game from Ubuntu Software Center (lightyears).

I believe that Unity itself should take care about this matter. Another possibility could be modification of Pygame apps. But I don't know how.
