Title:
  menu item for command in terminal breaks terminal launcher

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

Bug description:
  I have an icon on my launcher for the terminal, recently I made a new
  item for "application in terminal" in the Main Menu, it is a shell
  script like the one below and gave this new menu item an IRC client
  icon. If I open this with a terminal open, it opens in a terminal
  under the same icon on the launcher as the existing terminal. If I
  open it first it opens under a new icon in the launcher with the IRC
  icon, then all subsequent terminal windows I open end up under the
  same icon on the launcher. This makes it annoying to find my terminals
  and the terminal with my IRC client.

  here's the script, it opens two IRC clients, one locally one not so locally:
    gnome-terminal -e weechat-curses &
    while [ 1 ]; do
      ssh -t my.domain.name "screen -rd irc"
    done

  Steps to re-create
  ==============
  1. Start on an empty desktop.
  2. make a script like the one above to open some application (like weechat) in a terminal.
  3. Use the "Main Menu" editor to add an "irc" icon to your dash, which is an "application in terminal" pointing to your script, do not pin it to the launcher.
  4. Pin the standard terminal to your launcher.
  5. Make sure the desktop is still empty of any windows.
  5. Open "irc" via the dash.
  6. Open a standard terminal from the launcher icon.

  Expected results
  =============
  The terminal containing weechat and the standard terminal are under the terminal icon on the launcher.

  Actual results
  ===========
  Both the IRC chat and any terminals you open are now under the irc icon in the launcher with whatever icon it has set in the menu.
