Keyboard navigation should jump invisible icons

Bug Description

When I activate the launcher keyboard navigation sometimes no icon is highlighted. This is because even the invisible icons are considered.

What are the invisible icons? I mean, technically (I can confirm that some invisible icons exist, but what are they?).

I have shown it with a simple loop while for testing: one is the icon for compiz and another one have no tooltip. But you have the same problem?

Yes. Exactly the same thing. If I press the right arrow on the icon without tooltip, the quicklist is shown. If I choose "Close", unity is killed (so, one of the invisble icons is compiz and the another one should be some unity's component).

It is not a duplicate becuase the invisble icons are not only to the top or bottom!

The real bug is that Unity is showing itself on the launcher.

What do you do to get the 'invisible' icons?

"The real bug is that Unity is showing itself on the launcher."
There are also other icons that are invisible, for example Compiz!

I have already made a patch and a propose of marging. We can skip an icon if GetQuirk (LauncherIcon::QUIRK_VISIBLE) is false ;)

I think that these invisible icons should not be in launcher, because it
can generate problems in other cases too (and in all of these places we
must to have a verification to confirm that the icon is visible).

Maybe we should create a blacklist of programs (that shouldn't ever
appear on launcher).

The invisible icons are needed AFAIK for placeholders and such, so we will ways some.
