I'm not sure if these programs:- Colour and AisleRiot Solitaire are also affected by this bug perhaps others, for example open either up and Lock to Launcher, then close that program and unlock from launcher, then open that particular program back up and there is no icon of it back in the launcher while its running. Which gcalctool is also experiencing.

But once logged out and back in, they are back running as they should be again until these step's are re-produced.

This bug was fixed in the package bamf - 0.2.118-1ubuntu1

---------------
bamf (0.2.118-1ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

  * Sync from debian. No more difference.
  * Cherry-pick from upstream:
    - Started applications pinned to the launcher are not set as running
      (LP: #976642)
    - sometimes icons get dropped from the launcher when they should not
      (LP: #925421)
  * debian/*symbols:
    - add new private symbol (will not be exported after next release)
  * debian/control:
    - change packaging location to canonical branch (lp:ubuntu/bamf)

bamf (0.2.118-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Backport latest release to debian
  * debian/control:
    - bump Standards-Version to latest
    - remove build-dep only used for unit tests
    - replace the gtk2 variant of the wnck introspection gir package with
      gtk3 one
    - ensure the gtk2/gtk3 version doesn't have the same description
  * debian/*.symbols:
    - adding some PRIVATE symbols to make lintian happy. We saw that bamf
      is exporting by error some of its private symbols. This will be fixed
      in next released (and so the symbols will be removed from the .symbols
      files)
  * debian/rules:
    - add hardening flags (thanks Andrea)
  * debian/sources/format:
    - added to specify we use format 1.0

Hello Goyo, or anyone else affected,

Accepted bamf into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bamf/0.2.118-0ubuntu0.2 in a few hours and then in the -proposed repository. Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case details of your testing will help us make a better decision. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
