Bug Description

1) In a terminal launch something like:
     - sleep 2 && gnome-calculator
2) Press Alt+Tab in order to show the switcher within 2 seconds

Expected:
3) Once the calculator is opened, it is shown in the switcher

Actual result:
3) switcher has always the same icons.

The switcher icons should be dynamic, so should also be removed/updated if an application closes in the meantime, i.e. by launching:
  - gnome-calculator & sleep 3 && killall gnome-calculator
