Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

When I use the 'go home' button (top left) in unity to access my applications, and click on (for example) the Games icon, I get a list of my games with the correct titles; however, the icons correspond to the first two rows in the 'all applications' list from the applications menu. If I then switch to a different category and back again, I get the correct icons. This only seems to happen the first time I use the menu after booting the computer.
Also, if I later use the applications icon to see my programs, it will indicate at the top that All Applications are being displayed, but in fact only the icons from the last category viewed using the go home button are visible. Again I have to select a different category and then re-select All Applications to get the correct view.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Restart computer (or logout/login)
2. Click on the go home icon
3. Click on one of the categories and notice that the wrong icons are being used.
4. Switch to a new category and back again to see that the right icons are now in place.
5. Click on the Applications icon and notice that only the last category viewed is displayed.

I've seen this as well, there is probably some messup in the async icon loading.
