Bug Description
Dash do not detect new installed or removed applications, until user log off and back log on.
Also shortcuts like View Photos, Check Email or Listen to Music should be removed when user removes applications like Shotwell or Evolution and replaces them with nothing, because in this case will these shortucs launch Firefox. Or you could make those shortcuts faded out and unclickable, unless supported apps are installed. This would propably require some whitelist of apps for music, picture management or email clients...
Currently for exaple it does not recognize Banshee and launches Firefox and beside of that, if i would remove Banshee, it should launch Totem or something else what is available. If i remove Shotwell it should launch EOG or other installed alternative, based on those whitelists etc..
