That's probably glib/gio's fault. When this happens
g_desktop_app_info_new returns NULL when it should return a valid
GDesktopAppInfo. It's likely a timing issue that should be fixed in
glib/gio or in the script (adding a small timeout after moving the file
in the directory). Correct me if I'm wrong.

Title:
  vivid, utopic and trusty unity (7.3.1+14.10.20140811-0ubuntu1)
  launcher addition through gsettings isn't picked up

Status in Unity:
  In Progress
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  As discussed on IRC, I tried to change the favorites key, and 3 trials
  on 10 didn't make any change in what the launcher displays. seb128
  reproduced it as well. (just be aware that we just create the .desktop
  file just before).

  The exact same code seems to work 100% of the time on trusty.

  So, we:
  1. create the desktop file
  2. from gi.repository import GLib, Gio
  gsettings = Gio.Settings(schema_id="com.canonical.Unity.Launcher", path="/com/canonical/unity/launcher/")
  then, get the favorites list and add the desktop file.
  3.         gsettings.set_strv("favorites", new_launcher_list)
  -> No launcher icon added from new launcher list.
  However, a "$ gsettings get" shows that desktop file (which is present.
  Note that changing the list and changing it back works.

  This was first experimented on June 2014 and reported on IRC.
