Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

When I launch say Dolphin by clicking on the "pinned" launcher, the launcher disappears from taskbar when I close Dolphin. This happens every time with any application.
Logout/login makes launchers appear again.
Tested with KDE 4.6.90 from Arch linux kde-unstable repos.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Launch arbitrary application
2) Rightclick it in taskbar->Advanced->Show a Launcher for (app) when it is not running
3) Close the app, logout, login, the launcher appears in taskbar
4) Click the launcher
5) Close the application, the launcher will be gone

Actual Results:  
Launcher disappears

Expected Results:  
Launcher stays in taskbar

I can confirm this. Additionaly taskbar sometimes doesnt show up the windows. Sometimes when i open an app i see entry on taskbar saying its loading, but whenever application appears the taskbar entry goes away and doesnt show the task. If then i open one more application then the one that didnt show up shows up along with the new one.

I can confirm this is still present in KDE 4.7 RC 2.
Comment 4 Zom Aur 2011-07-27 18:07:58 UTC 
Still present in KDE 4.7 final.
Comment 5 Simonas 2011-07-28 07:49:47 UTC 
I can confirm too that in 4.7 final its not fixed.

Still happens to met as well in 4.7 Not with all launcher icons though. Firefox behaves like it should. The launcher for Konsole however is always shown at startup but disappears after closing Konsole.
