What does the "2" icon mean?

Asked by Tyler Burton

In the Unity bar I have an icon with the number "2" sitting above my home folder launcher. This is there no matter what, even after a restart. What does it mean?

Occasionally it may happen that numbers stuck.
The numbers are displayed by pressing the win-key (super key), e.g. super+1 opens nautilus.
https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/windows-key.html

Try pressing the super key a few times or together with the number or move icons around.
Maybe install myunity or compizconfig-settings-manager in order to play a bit with the launcher.
Reset Unity via terminal:
unity --reset

Search bug reports perhaps it's already known that numbers can be sticky.
