Public bug reported:

If you open a click-installed app from the Dash, it will initially
launch 2 instances of the app.  Subsequent clicks on the Dash launcher,
rather than switching to one of the running instances, will instead
launch another instance of the app.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Install uReadIt from the Click store
2) Click on uReadIt in the "Installed" section of the apps lens
3) Notice 2 thumbnails in "Recent apps" and 2 processes in ps aux |grep -i ureadit
4) Click on uReadIt again in the "Installed" section of the apps lens
5) Notice 3 thumbnails in "Recent apps" and 3 processes in ps aux |grep -i ureadit
6) Repeat steps 4 & 5 to add more processes and thumbnails

** Affects: unity-lens-applications (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
