Bug Description

When I install an app on the phone, the scope updates to have an Open and Uninstall button, but if I've left the Dash in the interim (and so can't use that button) then the app I've just installed does not appear anywhere obvious. Perhaps the "All" scope on the home of the dash should include recently installed apps, or they should be pinned to the launcher as they are on Ubuntu desktop?

------ UX Comment ------

The desired solution (although temporary) will be creating a new category in the Apps scope to display all new/recently installed apps. They can live there until the user launch them for the first time (or move them to a custom section, once this functionality is implemented). After this, they will appear on the 'All' apps category displayed by alphabetical order.
