  Launcher - The Nautilus and USB drive icons in the Launcher should be
  valid drop targets for all types of files and folders

Bug description:
  The Nautilus and USB drive icons in the Launcher should be valid drop
  targets for all types of files and folders

  When a user starts dragging a file or folder, Launcher icons that are
  valid drop targets are highlighted by means of all the other Launcher
  icons dimming.  However HOME and USB drive launcher icons do not
  currently remain illuminated even though they should be valid drop
  targets for all files and folders.

  Desired solution:
  - HOME and USB drive icons (and any other icons that represent storage devices) in the Launcher should remain illuminated when a user starts performing a file or folder drag action. 

  - The exception to the above statement is when the drag originates
  from a Nautilus window.  In this case the originating Launcher icon
  should not be highlighted, e.g. when dragging a file from a USB drive,
  the USB drive the file is being dragged from should not illuminate.

  - Dropping a file or folder on to a HOME and USB drive icon should
  copy that file or folder to the directory that is currently in focus.
  For example, if no HOME window is currently open, dropping a file on
  to the HOME icon should copy that file into the /home/[User]/
  directory.  However if Nautilus has been opened by clicking on the
  HOME Launcher icon and is currently displaying the /Pictures/
  directory, dropping the file on to the HOME launcher icon should copy
  the file to the /Pictures/ directory.

  - If multiple Nautilus windows have been opened by clicking on a
  single Launcher entry (e.g. by middle clicking several times on the
  HOME icon), droping a file on to the Launcher entry (e.g. HOME icon)
  copies the file to the most recently focused of these windows.

  - In line with the standard Launcher drag and drop behavour, if there
  multiple windows have been opened from a single storage icon (e.g.
  HOME), holding the file over the Launcher icon should trigger a
  spread.  This enables the user to then choose which window they would
  like to copy the file into.
