Public bug reported:

I had two installations of an application - one in ~/example1/bin, and
one in ~/example2/bin (in the middle of updating versions of this
application)

The application in example1 has been locked to the launcher. I removed
this launcher with "Unlock from launcher", and then started the
application in example2 via a terminal. I right clicked on the icon in
the launcher and selected "Lock to launcher".

When I terminated the application, the launcher started the *old*
version of the application in example1 - rather than the version which
was running when I selected "lock to launcher".

Expected behaviour is that the new version of the application is locked
to the launcher.


(Fix was to manually edit the .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications
