Public bug reported:

In bug #1081843, the following design was given:

"If the application *is not* in focus when the user moves their pointer
over the Launcher app icon, the first mouse wheel click towards or away
from the user should focus the application, and bring the top most
window in the application's z stack to the front of the global z stack.
Subsequent clicks of the mouse wheel the operate exactly as described
above."

However, a community member recently brought up the issue that this is
not expected behavior and posted as such in that bug.  Mark Shuttleworth
then responded that that design is a mistake and that nothing should
happen when using the mouse scroll wheel over a Launcher icon of an
unfocused app, no matter how many windows are associated with it.

This bug is to fix that design.
