Description Allan Day 2014-03-17 14:37:51 UTC 
Testing 3.11.91 on Fedora Rawhide: when I remove an application using Software, a generic application icon is left in the overview (including in the dash if the application was added there).

Launching the app results in a notification that reads:

“failed to execute child process “/usr/bin/firewall-config”
