Bug Description

[Impact]

Alt+F1 and keyboard navigating the launcher icons doesn't change the title in panel. This was a regression in a proposed update that was not covered well enough via tests.

[Test Case]

Alt+F1, navigate launcher icons, the title in the panel should update accordingly.

[Regression Potential]

Low/non-existent, title is now just properly refreshed when launcher item has been changed.

---

Running unity 6.12.0-0ubuntu0.1 packages from proposed the top panel "tooltip" that appeared when the keyboard focus was on the launcher (i.e. doing Alt+F1) is not there anymore.

How to reproduce:
 * Press Alt+F1
 * See that the dash button is highlighted
 * Verify that the top panel text does not change to describe selected launcher tile

This works if using the regular quantal unity packages
