    Description

      I am using Qt Creator 2.6.0-rc release on Ubuntu 12.04.
      When Qt Creator is running, it is not visible in the Unity dash. Also it is not present in the list presented when I press ALT+TAB.
      As a result once the Creator is minimized, there is no way to access the Creator window.
      I could verify that the Creator is still running from System Monitor or ps command. I will have to kill the process to terminate the application.
      I have observed the same behavior in 2.6.0 beta release as well.

      I am not sure whether this is a unity bug, but older versions of Qt Creator still works fine in the same environment.
