Thrash bin is a bit problematic since it also closes the application (at
least in unity7) if it's running. Then again if the drag to bin
functionality is used only for removing favourite status of an app
(unlocking from launcher) it is quite unintuitive that a currently
running app is not entirely removed from the launcher when dragged over
to the bin (because its instance is still running we need to have an
icon in the launcher according to the current design).

My conclusion is that the current design is the best for now considering
the world of convergence we're entering and therefore I'm closing this
bug for now.

Title:
  [design] [Launcher] Make it easier to remove an item from launcher

Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Won't Fix
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu RTM:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  User testing revealed that users expected that icon could be removed
  from the launcher by longpressing an item and dragging it out of the
  launcher.

  One option would be having a trash bin appearing at the bottom of the
  Launcher (in the place normally occupied by the BFB) when a user drags
  and app icon off he launcher (or enters an edit mode to organize
  icons). The problem with this is that because user can also relocate
  an item in this mode dragging an item down to a trash bin causes item
  to go through all  different dropping positions in the actual launcher
  as well.

  Therefore one possible option would be placing the thrash bin outside
  the launcher next to the item in question.
