Public bug reported:

When I start application "webbrowser-app" from unity on a standard Ubuntu/Unity system,
thewebbrowser  window opens with the google page, then the system freezes except that I can move the mouse.
No mouse click is active, unable to do anything else. I must reboot the computer.
The ALT SYSREQ R-S-E-I-U-B reacts at step "B"

Parameters: lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS
Release:	14.04

The system is up-to-udate, and standard with many (standard) packages
installed.

Step to reproduce:
-------------------------
Inside of a Unity shortcut .desktop file like the firefox one: ~/.local/share/applications/firefox.desktop
Create a new entry like:

[uwb Shortcut Group]
Name=Navigateur Web Ubuntu
Exec=/usr/bin/webbrowser-app

and add the "uwb" in the line "X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts"
Save it.
Now please use the Unity / Firefox Icon, and  in the menu, select this new entry "Navigateur Web Ubuntu".
The system freeze occurs and you cannot do anything else than moving your mouse.

What should do:
---------------------
The application should be usable and running.
