Please raise the priority of this bug as this is a glaring problem and can confuse new users when they see the launcher icon still being shown on the launcher. This needs to be fixed before precise release.

The importance of this bug should at least be "high" as this is really confusing to new users. They will either think that the app hasn't be uninstalled properly, or that the app is installed but buggy.
