Title:
  Dash does not display unless other windows are open

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When no windows are open on the screen, as when I've first logged in,
  the Dash refuses to open. The launcher bar works (hiding/showing, as
  expected), but clicking the Dash Home button or pressing the Super key
  does nothing. As soon as I open any window (usually I drop down Tilda
  using a key shortcut), the on-screen button and Super key both work
  again.

  This problem started after an upgrade from Precise to Quantal.
