[Mateo Salta <1389698@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just had this happen on my MX4 ubuntu edition - extreemly scary and
didn't know what caused it till I read this bug. The workaround worked -
but I couldn't get to the terminal on the phone (a: not installed by
default, b: not a shortcut on the launcher) and without the app scope
the device is essentially soft bricked - i was able to attach to my
laptop, and do `adb shell` fortunately then run the command,  a more
serious pitfall for beginning developers.

Can we have a "if scope exists" check on loading favorite scopes at
boot? or in the reset settings a reset scope favorites (either would be
enough to ease hit on this one, as one of the first things I did was do
the reset launcher button)

  Favoriting QtCreator-ran scope results in blank dash

Bug description:
  Unity8 on mako rtm #6 won't load any scope installed in the system. Sometimes it stays on the loading screen with the activity indicator spinning, or it may also end up with the white/grey background, but no scopes are loaded.
  I can't use the phone right now, since I can't launch apps from the app scope. The left panel works, though.
  This all started after I played a bit with QtCreator because I'm developing a scope for the contest.
  I don't know exactly which files to attach, meanwhile there's ~/.cache/upstart/scope-register.log.
  Tell me if you need more information.

  Thanks in advance for the help,
  Giulio

  Potential steps to reproduce:
  - run a custom scope from QtCreator
  - add that scope to favorites
  - close QtCreator

  This seems to leave the phone in a state where it can't load the
  scopes any more. The below helps to clear this again:

  $ gsettings reset com.canonical.Unity.Dash favorite-scopes
