Title:
  Application list cluttered on a fresh Artful installation

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  GNOME Shell application list contains many rarely-used and sometimes
  redundant app icons like:

  * 3 different icons for fcitx
  * 2 icons for OnBoard (OnBoard settings are accessible from OnBoard itself)
  * ImageMagick (Most probably rarely used, especially when there's also EOG)
  * Language Support, Input Method (There's a language panel in gnome-control-center, so this looks like a unity-control-center leftover)

  Because of that, the application list is 3 pages long, making other
  apps unnecessarily hard to find.

  One way to solve that would be to pack rarely-used, but still useful
  stuff into GNOME's Sundry app folder. Completely redundant icons can
  probably be just removed.
