Bug description:
  [Impact]
  It's not possible to drag firefox or chromium tabs to the relative launcher icon in order to select a different window as drop target.

  [Test case]
  1. Open two Chromium or Firefox windows, with two tabs open in each.
  2. Start dragging a browser tab over a browser icon in the Launcher
  3. Unity should displays a spread of the two browser windows
  4. It will be possible to drop the tab in one of the browser windows,
     after selecting it in spread.

  [Regression Potential]
  As it happened with bug #727902 this codepath was disabled in the past, thus there's basically no regression potential.

  ---------------

  With Metacity, one would need only to drag the tab to the bottom bar,
  mouse-over the destination window, and then release the tab in the
  newly focused window.

  There is no equivalent behavior with Unity. Dragging tabs to its bar
  does nothing.

  ---------------------
  Desired resolution:

  Users should be able to move tabs between browser windows irrespective
  of window state (minimised, restored or maximised) by dragging and
  dropping the via the Launcher app spread.
