[Bug 951929] Re: Unity launcher and Alt-Tab switcher missing entry for gnome-terminal

 

On 13.10 ... still present.  Seems to mostly affect gnome-terminal; but
maybe that's what I have running most(?) Tends to happen when I have two
terminal sessions running. Close the newer one. The old one is still
running (shows with filled triangle on launcher) but can't switch to it
with alt-tab nor go to it by clicking icon in launcher. Right-click in
launcher does not list it either.  Restarting Unity restores it to the
list.

Title:
  Unity launcher and Alt-Tab switcher missing entry for gnome-terminal

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  edit: Updated title, its affecting more than gnome-terminal

  1) Description:	Ubuntu precise (development branch)
  Release:	12.04

  2) unity:
    Installed: 5.4.0-0ubuntu2

  3) Gnome-Terminal to show in list of programs to alt+tab to.

  4)  Alt+Tab consistently fails to show gnome-terminal for 'a while' (I
  hate to be vague, I can't figure out what suddenly triggers it to
  appear in the box).  See attached photograph of it occurring.

  I can make it happen at will:

  1) Cold boot into Ubuntu.
  2) Open gnome-terminal.
  3) Open Firefox.
  4) Press alt+tab.  alt+tab window only shows Desktop and Firefox.

  In attached screenshot, note that gnome-terminal has a highlighted
  background and arrow, indicating an instance of it running, as is
  Firefox.
