Bug Description
If I close and reopen netbeans 2-3 times, then it ceases to show up in the unity launcher. If I minimize it, I have no way of restoring it. If I do "Lock in Launcher" while netbeans is starting, the icon stays in the launcher, but pressing it attempts to start a new instance of netbeans instead of bringing up the existing instance.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Reboot
2. Start Netbeans by clicking on a .desktop file
3. Close Netbeans
4. Repeat steps 2 + 3 a few times until the following happens:
Result: Netbeans icon does not show in Unity Launcher
Expected Result: Netbeans icon should show up in Unity Launcher
The problem gets fixed after a reboot, but happens again after a few launches of netbeans, as described above.
I noticed this after I upgraded Netbeans (from within Netbeans). I have installed Netbeans from a netbeans installer.

After a fresh reboot launching netbeans temporarily shows two netbeans icons in the launcher. When netbeans finishes launching, the second icon goes away.
When the bug happens, only the temporary icon shows up in the launcher, and then it goes away.
