Comment 7 for bug 772063

Hi, using up-to-date natty with unity3d. I have this problem every once in a while, too. Not exactly as the screenshot depicts - it loses the "active program" status on the launcher even if it is running. I attached a screenshot of the Remote Transmission program losing its place.

ps aux | grep bamf did return bamf as running:

cornwall 1736 0.0 0.2 229536 7244 ? S Jul13 0:35 /usr/lib/bamf/bamfdaemon
cornwall 29126 0.0 0.0 13128 1056 pts/1 S+ 16:48 0:00 grep --color=auto bamf

It's only a random application every once in a while. Sometimes Firefox, sometimes gnome-terminal, but it seems to target certain programs more than others: Nautilus is by far the most commonly lost.

I'm unsure if I'm properly killing/restarting bamf. Killing the PIDs and letting upstart respawn the daemon does not work.

However, restarting Unity always works. Is it certain that bamf is the affected package or Unity's integration with it?
