Bug description:
  [Impact]
  If the user drags and hold a file over a running application in the Launcher, all the windows of that application should be shown with the spread. The user should then be able to drag and drop the file in a windows in the spread to load the file into that specific window.

  [Test Case]
  1) Open two windows instances of the same application (say firefox)
  2) Drag a file from the file-manager or the desktop and hover the firefox icon
  3) After one second the firefox icon is hovered, the spread will occur
  4) You should be able to hover one of the firefox windows and it should
     show a spinner, after 750ms (by default) the hovered windows should be focused
     and raised
  5) You should now be able to drop the content you're dragging (if the selected
     application supports that content).

  [Regression Potential]
  This codepath was mostly disabled in the current compiz and unity code because it was buggy, so the regression potential is very low, although it might happen that, if some race-condition happens, when closing the scale the launcher might be still painted as if it would be in scale mode (desaturated) even if it's not the case anymore.
