[launcher] Repeating onRemoteEntryUpdated warning message

[Gerry Boland]

Running the launcher, I get this message repeating in my shell:

onRemoteEntryUpdated(QString, QMap<QString, QVariant>): Application sent an update but we don't seem to have it in the launcher: "application://nautilus.desktop"

This is happening continually for me! The log file is now up to 130MB.

Only new information is that this definitely still with us, past the Precise launch date. I'm getting this line every 2 seconds added to my .xsession-errors file:

-----
unity-2d-shell: [WARNING] void ApplicationsList::remoteEntryUpdated(const QString&, const QString&, const QString&, const QMap<QString, QVariant>&): Application sent an update but we don't seem to have it in the launcher: "application://nautilus.desktop"
-----

Which is 'remoteEntryUpdated' vs the 'onRemoteentryUpdated' variant specified in the report.

To throw out some numbers, that's 254 bytes of data every 2 seconds, or 127 bytes/sec. Thus after an 8 hour workday that amounts to:

127(bytes/sec) * 3,600 (secs/hour) * 8 (hours) = 3.5 MiB.

This isn't a big deal if I log out regularly, but I don't generally log out but once a month, basically when a kernel upgrade makes it necessary. Extrapolating, after a month, this single messages equates to 104.6 MiB of space in the log file.

Not a big deal, given today's typical filesystem size, but I do wish I knew what was causing it.
