Bug description:
  Ok, this is a little hard to explain. Basically with two separate
  programs (QtCreator and Eclipse) I followed (roughly, as far as I
  remember) the following proceedure:

  1. Install app *not from apt*.
  2. Create a custom .desktop file in ~/Desktop
  3. Launch the app using that file.
  4. Pin it to the dock.
  5. Close the program (or minimise - I can't quite remember).

  Basically this leaves you in a state where the dock (and alt-tab, etc)
  thinks the program is not running, but actually it is, and its window
  is still hanging around. If you click  the pinned launcher it starts
  another instance of the program.

  Logging out and logging back in again fixes the problem, which
  suggests there is something unity does on initialisation that it
  should also do when you add launchers.
