Title:
  Dash - Drag and drop app install from App Lens to Launcher is broken

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Fix Committed
Status in Unity:
  Triaged
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When in the App Lens (and Dash home) results view and previews, the
  user should be able to drag and drop application icons to the Launcher
  to install the application. This same interaction should also be
  triggered when a user clicks on a 'Available for download'
  application.

  Desired solution:

  - dragging and dropping a application from the 'Apps available to
  download category header' onto the Launcher should:

  1)  add the application icon to the launcher in a grayed out state
  2)  install the application.

  As the application is installed, the app icon should fill with colour.
  When installation is complete, the icon should be in its normal state
  fully filled with colour.  Remember to also review bug
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-design/+bug/676453 for details of the
  installing animation.

  ===============================

  This bug would be an ideal bug for someone to get started hacking on
  Unity, here's some information:

   * Time to fix: 10h
   * Difficulty: normal
   * Implementation:

  This bug should piggy back on the implementation of
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/676453 using the same
  internal call structure, but setting up the apt-daemon install process
  by itself. It's not unimaginable to consider even having the dash use
  the same interface for installing as the software center (making the
  same dbus call as mention in bug #676453)

   * Where to look: src/Launcher.cpp
   * Workflow information: http://unity.ubuntu.com/getinvolved/
