I recently installed the LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 meta package via the Ubuntu Software Center. This does not contain LibreOffice Base, so I installed it separately via the Ubuntu Software Center as well.

Doing so created two icons on my Unity dock: one for the main program and one for Base. I cannot remove the icon for Base. Whenever I right click on the icon, it gives me three options: New Database (this is normal and works as expected), a blank space that does nothing when clicked, and Lock to Launcher which does nothing when clicked.

How can I remove this icon for Base from the launcher? I am running Ubuntu 12.04. I tried to add a picture of exactly what I see, but I'm considered a new user. The system wouldn't let me, and I'm not sure if I'm allowed to upload it somewhere else and link to it.

Completely restarting my machine fixed it. It's still a bug that needs to be fixed, but I found the answer to this problem is a full restart. – Tyler Aug 18 '12 at 22:22
