Bug Description

Launching something like this:

  while true; do xclock& sleep 0.5 && kill $(pidof xclock) && sleep 1.1; done

may hit unity by showing an empty arrow on the right side of the icons.
This is because if a BamfView has changed its path, then it needs to reload the
cached data, or the signal won't be fast enough to update the inner children list.

  * BamfView: reload the view children everytime it changes dbus path
    Without doing it we could have children-less views in case we have
    just re-matched a view with a different dbus path (this happens in
    general for desktop-less applications), because the proxy won't be
    fast enough to catch the signal to update the inner children list.
