Title:
  Dash - Pressing "Page Down/Page Up" does not work in Dash

Status in Ayatana Design:

Status in Unity:

Bug description:
  
  When trying to page down or page up in the Dash it never works.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1.) press Super+A
  2.) expand the "Installed" category so that all installed applications are viewable, resulting in lots of rows of icons
  3.) press the "Page Down" key with the intention of advancing the view of icons down one page. Nothing happens. The "page down" key will not move the view down one page.

  Please make it so that "Page Down" and "Page Up" work in the dash so
  users can use these keys when looking at lots and lots of icons.

  
  --------------------------------------------------
  Desired Solution:

  - When the Dash is open the PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys should scroll
  the Dash up and down.

  (note this behaviour was specified in section "2.4.2.2 Keyboard
  navigation" of the original Dash spec.
