Bug description:
  [Test Case]
  1. Install smuxi from Software Centre.
     -> Verify that it has added a launcher icon.
  2. Start smuxi from the launcher icon.
     -> Verify the launcher icon shows the left and right side triangles.
  3. Switch to another application.
  4. Switch back to smuxi by clicking its launcher icon.
     -> Verify that the original smuxi instance is refocused (a new instance should not be created).

  [Regression Potential]
  No regression potential.

  Original description:
  1. Install smuxi from Software Centre
  2. Observe that it has added a launcher icon
  3. Click the launcher icon to start smuxi
  4. Switch to another application
  5. Switch back to smuxi by clicking its launcher icon
  6. Quit smuxi (with its File > Quit menu item; closing the window does not quit the app)
  7. Unlock the smuxi icon from the launcher
  8. Launch smuxi from the Dash
  9. Switch to another application
  10. Switch back to smuxi by clicking its launcher icon
  11. Lock the smuxi icon to the launcher
  12. Quit smuxi
  13. Click the locked launcher icon to start smuxi
  14. Switch to another application
  15. Switch back to smuxi by clicking its launcher icon

  What happens:

  3. The smuxi launcher icon does not have the triangle next to it to indicate that it is running
  5. We do not switch to an existing smuxi; instead, a new one is launched!
  8. The launcher icon *does* get the triangle when smuxi is launched from the dash
  10. Works fine
  13. The smuxi launcher icon does not have the triangle next to it to indicate that it is running
  15. We do not switch to an existing smuxi; instead, a new one is launched!

  What should happen:

  3, 13: as 8
  5, 15: as 10

  So, the launcher icon does not seem to correctly detect that smuxi is
  launched, if it is launched *from* a launcher icon. It does work fine
  if smuxi is launched from the dash.

  Note also that if the launcher does not detect that smuxi is running
  (and so it does not show the triangle), then Smuxi also does not show
  up in the Alt-Tab switcher. This makes it almost impossible to switch
  back to Smuxi.
