http://askubuntu.com – I have a very strange problem: the "Applications" lens does not appear in unity dash. The unity-lens-application and unity-places-applications packages are installed, i tried also unity --reset but that didn't help. On the other hand, other users on the same machine have it working. I thought it should depend from some messed up configuration so I tried to find something out of place in gconftool. Obviously also that was useless. Since I don't want to completely reset the account (too much configs in place), I'd like to heare some suggestions (anything can help). Thanks! (HowTos)

though I prefer using Fogger instead of creating web-apps in chrome, I don't need the Fogger lens in my Unity Dash. The few web-apps I have are easily found via global search or applications lens. I tried sudo apt-get purge unity-lens-fogger and some variations, but had no success. Can anyone tell me under what name the Fogger lens can be removed?
