The first problem is similar to bug #1103446 AFAICS.

Your version issue should be solved by right clicking on the icon in the
dash, then you get detailed information which contains the version as
well.

Title:
  misleading unison icons

Status in “unison” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  the unison icons are misleading. Under newer ubuntu releases as natty
  or oneiric, the default version of unison is 2.32, and the older 2.27
  is available, while on Ubuntu LTS only 2.27 is available.

  So when using Unison between machines with latest Ubuntu and latest
  LTS Ubuntu, you always need to install the 2.27 on the newer machine.
  Not a problem at all.

  But then, both versions use the same Icon, the Unison "U" with the
  label "Unison". In the graphically oriented Desktops you can't
  distinguish them. Under the old gnome as available under ubuntu natty,
  this was not that much of a problem since the help hint (when moving
  the mouse over the icon) gave a hint about the version.

  Unfortunately, under oneiric's new (horrible) desktops, that (awful)
  new "Dash home", you can't distinguish them anymore. You never know
  for what version the U icon stands for. So please give the versions
  different icons.

  Furthermore, for some unknown reason the (buggy) Ubuntu Software
  Center does not even show the U symbol for the 2.27.57-gtk package,
  but a box with tools. Something is wrong with the process of determing
  the icons. (And the software center does not find the commandline
  versions at all...)
