Separated the Dash document icon issue into bug #1081901, leaving this bug to deal with the blank icons in launcher and task switcher.

[Test Case] 1. install an application without an icon (e.g. Sigil); 2. run the application. - 3. notice Launcher icon (and dash, task switcher) + 3. notice Launcher icon and task switcher icon - should not be blank [Regression Potential] There should be no regression potential, default icon is used only if no icon is specified. The default icon should not be used instead of real icons. - --- Starting an application that does not have an icon associated with it - displays a blank icon in the launcher, dash and the task switcher. + displays a blank icon in the launcher and the task switcher. It should display using the standard/stock default application icon.
