Bug Description

When a lens is shutting down (or crashing like on bug #846013), and you open the dash, it brings you unity down. We should protect unity for that as we want people to develop their own lenses.

The stack doesn't seem to make sense, but it's easily reproducible and kamstrup, rick, confirmed it.

Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed (it does not generate an useful symbolic stack trace). This
might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system
at the time of the report:
