Description

window-picker-applet’s lack of application “pinning” (i.e. such applications remain as launcher when the application is not running) I think we should remove all launchers. Otherwise, if an application that has a launcher is running, two instances of the same icon will be present in the panel (when Bug #7325 is implemented).

Removing all launchers would mitigate this. Since the focus of this feature is to look like Windows 8, the added inconvenience is worth it, IMHO.

I think the lack of icon at startup is worse than the duplication of in icon added to the worse UX. But that should be discussed.
