[Bug 1368826] [NEW] [Launcher] Remove the recent apps from the launcher

 

Public bug reported:

Recent apps live and can be accessed already via right edge. Them
appearing in the Launcher is duplication. Also mixing recent apps with
favourite ones is a concept that users has difficulties to grasp.

Launcher should only contained pinned apps, any apps that are asking for
attention, and the currently focused app.  The currently focused app
should always be at the top.  Any apps that are asking for attention
should be positioned below the currently focused app and above the
pinned apps, and when the user focuses an app that is asking for
attention (via any method) this app should be removed from the launcher.

The currently focused app should have a "Add to launcher" option in it's
quicklist

Proper design is still missing.
