I think we need to put the dash between the background apps and the
foreground app, so that your foreground app doesn't die before the
(backgrounded) dash.

The problem is also that the unity8-dash job is respawning, as it's not
a "normal" app, so it won't wait until you focus it again to restart...
Although that might not be desirable in itself...

And then we need to reduce the mem usage in unity8-dash when people have
large music collections (like ogra!).

Title:
  unity8-dash should be excluded from app lifecycle management

Status in “qtmir” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  having a lot of apps open my unity8-dash gets contantly killed along
  the apps if a certain OOM threshold is reached ... this appears like a
  system crash of the UI (even though it is desired killing) from a user
  perspective ...

  checking the oom_score_adj values of all running apps i see that the
  dash has the same high value as all other open foreground apps:

  ...
  11	7960	oxide-renderer
  11	7963	oxide-renderer
  11	7988	oxide-renderer	
  300	6170	oxide-renderer
  802	12514	unity8-dash
  802	6088	webbrowser-app
  802	6873	webapp-containe
  802	7425	webapp-containe
  802	7910	webapp-containe

  (the full log can be found at http://paste.ubuntu.com/8526308/ ) given
  that the dash is one part of our core UI it should be excluded from
  app lifecycle management (keeping the same oom_score of 10 as unity8
  does) so that only actual apps get killed on high memory pressure.
