Title:
  Ubuntu Software Center shows installed system apps

Status in software-center package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I noticed some of the apps listed under "installed apps" in Ubuntu
  Software Center are system apps as opposed to user apps. The ubuntu
  software center shows a number of "system apps" alongside all the
  "user apps" installed by me or pre-installed with ubuntu.

  System Apps like compiz (window manager) and unity 8 (unity shell)
  should never show up alongside a list of conventional user apps
  because the novice ubuntu user might end up removing them by mistake
  (which i did). There should be a seperate list in a seperate place for
  system apps like these (also a warning "you are about to remove a
  system app" might be useful)

  I guess i need an add/remove programs list where i can view/ modify or
  remove only installed user apps. (Everthing installed by me or pre-
  installed when i installed ubuntu)
