Public bug reported:

Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Release:	14.04
Codename:	trusty


Sitting at machine A, I ssh -X to machine B and run "sudo synaptic".
The window comes up (on A) and the unity launcher icon for synaptic gets a little mark by it.
I can no longer bring up a local synaptic by clicking on the launcher icon.  (<--  I expected this to work.)
I can run a local synaptic via dash.
Selecting quit on the launcher icon quits both.  (I expected this to kill the local one.)

I get similar results with nautilus (clicking the launcher icon will not open a local nautilus).
Also, the launcher  icon has right menu item "Open a new window" which opens a *local* 
(machine A) nautilus.

Firefox is similar, but it's "new window" opens another machine B
window.  (Inconsistent with nautilus.)
