Bug Description
While the software center is currently installing an application a launcher icon should also animate that progress.
This behavior was reverted because the launcher was not getting the correct *.desktop file for its icon. This is because the application needs to be installed first (that is the problem). This caused a bunch of problems.
The correct fix is to send 2 *.desktop files one for while the application is getting installed and the second one for the correct *.deskop file of that application. The software center should be sending both of these paths to encapsulate those paths as much as possible.
So for a correct fix to this bug a fix in unity and the software center will be needed :)
Also for completely correct fix, this bug should be fixed as well:

Currently, for paid applications, software center loads the icon over the internet and displays it from RAM. There's no app-install-data desktop file for those applications. As such, it would need to manually create a desktop file AND save the icon into a temporary location on the HDD so Unity can read it. I can work-around the desktop file requirement, but a saved icon would still be needed.
Gary, what do you think about this? How should it be implemented?
