Bug Description

tnot sure how I got into this state, but now the launcher will not paint at all. When it's supposed to be visible I just get remnants and a corrupted area. Attaching screen shots and xsession-erros.
Seems to happen after running the workspace switcher and switching workspaces via ctrl-alt-left and -right

Very interesting, very probably related corruption bug with GKrellm.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install and launch GKrellm
2. Right click on it and go to General, Properties tab
3. Tick 'Set sticky state' and tick 'Set window type to be a dock or a panel'
4. Relaunch GKrellm
5. Switch workspaces a couple of times
6. Go to an empty workspace and open a window (e.g. a Terminal)

Result:

Lots of visual corruptions.

    - [launcher] Trash icon should indicate when it has deleted elements
      (LP: #715611)
    - When windows open for the first time they should not hide the launcher
      (LP: #723878)

  * debian/control:
    - unity-2d-panel recommends the indicator, not unity-2d
    - appmenu-gtk and appmenu-qt are already provided by indicator-appmenu
    - remove other meaningless recommends
  * debian/libunity-2d-private0.install:
    - install everything in Unity2d private directory

  [ Florian Boucault ]
  * debian/unity-2d-launcher.install:
    - do not install usr/lib/qt4/imports/UnityApplications/ anylonger as all of
      UnityApplications features have been moved to the Unity2d QML plugin
      installed by libunity-2d-private0
  * debian/control:
    - unity-2d-places and unity-2d-spread do not depend on unity-2d-launcher.
      All they need is now in libunity-2d-private0.
