Bug Description

I noticed with current trunk the following problem that breaks autohide and keeps the launcher always visible:

- put a window across the launcher so it does autohide
- go to the home button, the launcher appears
- push the home button, the dash appears
- click the workspaces switcher button in launcher, spread appears
- exit the spread to the same workspace where you were initially

The launcher is now stuck and always visible.
Please note that i'm running all 4 unity-2d components from trunk

@Marcelo: issue the following command in a terminal, this will make the launcher never hide:

  gconftool-2 --type=integer --set /desktop/unity-2d/launcher/hide_mode 0
