  [ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
  * LauncherIcon: force lookup icon by scaling it at the requested size
    (LP: #1446081, #1501973)
  * PanelService: ensure that we free the "fake" IndicatorEntry's we
    create for dropdowns (LP: #1503348)
  * ResultRendererTile: consider global scaling when scaling a not-
    squared icon (LP: #1499286)
  * TestDash: Use local results in PreviewNavigateTests instead of
    online ones
