Public bug reported:

As discussed on IRC, I tried to change the favorites key, and 3 trials
on 10 didn't make any change in what the launcher displays. seb128
reproduced it as well. (just be aware that we just create the .desktop
file just before).

The exact same code seems to work 100% of the time on trusty.

So, we:
1. create the desktop file
2. from gi.repository import GLib, Gio
gsettings = Gio.Settings(schema_id="com.canonical.Unity.Launcher", path="/com/canonical/unity/launcher/")
then, get the favorites list and add the desktop file.
3.         gsettings.set_strv("favorites", new_launcher_list)
-> No launcher icon added from new launcher list.
However, a "$ gsettings get" shows that desktop file (which is present.
Note that changing the list and changing it back works.
