mpt, please keep this one open and separate, and please do not modify its set of duplicates. This is a separate bug meant as a placeholder to keep track of adding the still-needed support in Unity for all aptdaemon events. Once this support is added, we can revert the launcher integration behavior to match the spec (where the item is added to the launcher at the start of an install).
I'll revert the dupe changes. Thanks! ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 966189 Launcher tooltip says "Waiting to install" when application is actually installing -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to software-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1011681 Title: Have Unity monitor and react to all installation events Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: A few times now I have closed the software center while installing a couple new toys. What happens is that it leaves the "waiting to install" icon on the unity bar.. and re-opening software center to finish the installs doesn't resolve the problem. I think that if you are installing software, it should be indicated in the dock / notification area.. with a tray icon to manage some basic options. So the bug is "waiting to install" sits around until you reboot (I think) and other icons from software that was installed after you closed the software-center does not get a unity icon at all. It really messes up the flow...
