Bug Description

The flashing glow effect that appears when launching an application doesn't fold if the icon of that icon happens to fold in the launcher. For example, if I clicked on an app at the top of the launcher to start it, and then clicked on the workspace mode, and thus made the app's icon have to fold, the glow would not fold, and appear under other applications.

This is not a big deal, it doesn't happen that often, but it is a lack of polish.

also of note, same with the shadows, we just can't do anything about it until the effects can rotate (not clutter rotations, special rotations that we can get perspective correct like we have to with the launcher icons)
