Comment 8 for bug 772063

I experience this problem as well. I added launchers to the Unity bar by opening all applications menu and dragging their icons to the Unity bar and dropping them there. Once I used them to launch the applications there was no triangle indicator showing the application running. My post to the Ubuntu forum is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1812036 and there is a screenshot showing Chromium open but no indicator that it is in use on the Unity bar. I will try removing that launcher, launching Chromium from "applications" and then right click and select "keep in launcher" as was advised by another user on the forum. However, this behavior should remain consistent no matter how the launcher is added to the Unity bar.
