Title:
  [launcher] Identical desktop files in two different directories are
  considered different applications

Status in unity-2d:
  Invalid
Status in unity-2d package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Instances of the same app launched by two identical copies of the same
  desktop file but placed in different directories are recognized by the
  launcher as being different applications (thus with different icons in
  the launcher)

  To reproduce the bug:

  - Copy a desktop file in two different directories
  - Run unity-qt launcher
  - Execute the first copy of the desktop file (icon appears in launcher)
  - Execute the second copy of the desktop file

  Result:
  - Two identical icons appear in the launcher

  Expected Result.
  - Only one icon should appear, and the two windows should be considered belonging to the same app

  Brief investigation seems to point to the way libbamf matches these
  windows as belonging to different applications.
