Well, I'm not sure if it is appropriate to attribute this behavior to
Unity.  According to the blog entry posted above:

The only thing that still bugs me is the fuzzy icon issue
<https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=382487>, but it
hopefully will be corrected soon.  In any event, you've got the legacy
method still available for about another year; but it probably will stop
working in Fedora 22.
