Flickering in the dash

[Didier Roche-Tolomelli]

1. start the dash
2. make a search that doesn't match the first category content
-> you can see icons flickering: the right category is put on top, but with the previous results, then it refreshes with the good results
3. now install unity fro precise-proposed
4. note the issue does not happen.

Hello Didier, or anyone else affected,

Accepted unity into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!
