I enabled Xenial Proposed and installed updates, then I rebooted and
installed about a dozen applications and they appeared fine in the dash,
so far everything looks fine. Tag changed accordingly.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  I am running 15.10 development version fully up to date, I installed it a few days ago and I have an issue with newly installed applications not appearing in the dash when I search for them, they can be started via console but the icons/launchers of newly installed applications will only appear in the dash after session is restarted.

  [Test case]
  1. Install a new applicaiton (using apt-get or the software center)
  2. Make sure the application is listed in the Unity Dash

  [Possible Regressions]
  Unity fails to list all the applications, not just the newly installed ones.
