Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  If I launch a Java app from, says, a bash script, unity shows an icon
  for the application and allows me to tick 'keep in launcher'. However,
  after the application closes, clicking on the unity-launcher icon for
  the application does not launch it. The icon flashes for a while but
  no error is reported and the application does not run.

  If I use a .desktop file to specify the bash script and add this to
  the unity-launcher, clicking on the icon does launch the script but
  unity-launcher displays a new icon for it (ie it can't connect it to
  the window that is launched).

  DockbarX includes the ability to edit the window identifier for each
  application so that the above works correctly, but unity-launcher
  doesn't seem to have anything like this.
