Comment 30 for bug 995916

I continued to look for a possible workaround, and it appears that the solution from http://<email address hidden>/msg116110.html worked.

So, what I did:

- I looked for Gimp in the Dash and dragged the icon to the Launcher. Where it should appear the icon I saw just a space, from where the program could be launched.

- Then I tried to restart Unity (Alt-F2 and write unity)

That just made my system go crazy, without unity or any window composite (I wonder if a log-off or a restart would be a better solution). I just forced a restart, but now gimp behaves more consistently with the whole system. It even show the Gimp icon in the Alt-Tab switcher.

I hope this help anyone to find a solution.
