Application lens launches previous Software Center UI

The attached branch should take care of it, but we might talk about whether this is the fix we really want to make.

Thanks!

I suggest that we instead (1) rename software-center to software-center-gtk2, (2) rename software-center-gtk3 to software-center, and (3) revert the .desktop file to point to software-center rather than software-center-gtk3.

That way, anything we don't know about that also launches software-center -- other desktop shells, private shell scripts, whatever -- won't be stuck launching an old GUI, or breaking altogether once we remove the GTK2 UI. (And as a minor benefit, it will be easier to launch the standard UI from the terminal.)

I have to agree with mpt, this is the way to go as you just don't know what has hard-coded "software-center". Gary, if you agree please add a software-center task to this bug...

FYI, we had a similar discussion this morning on #ubuntu-desktop and we concluded the the same as mpt suggested.

Indeed, I agree completely. We'll make the fix in Software Center then to launch the new default UI as "software-center". The way to do this is exactly as described by mpt in comment 2.

Thanks all for weighing in!

Fix will be made in software-center itself per comments above, so setting to Invalid for the unity-application-lens task.

This bug was fixed in the package software-center - 4.1.22

I don't have this binary.
