Public bug reported: i've encountered this several times now in software-center, that installing applications will cause the Unity launcher to crash. the specific applications that have caused this are "Lord of Ultima" and "Braid". the observed behavior is that the launcher becomes stuck visible, and overlays any maximized windows (see attached screenshot).
i'm not sure whether the bug is in software-center or in unity launcher, so i'm marking both affected and will try to collect apport report for both.
