Bug description:
  [Impact]
  When dragging a file to an application with multiple windows open and the spread is triggered, any movement of the mouse switches off the selective highlighting and dimming of valid/non-valid drop receptacles.

  [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) Dragging the icon outside the launcher and in the spread area (both over a window or
     not) should keep the desaturated icons as they were before.

  [Regression Potential]
  Launcher icon might be not saturated again when exiting from spread.

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

  Description.

  When a file is dragged and held over a application icon in the
  Launcher a spread of the app windows appear.  The user can then drag
  and drop the file on to one of the windows to specify the window in
  which they would like the file to be loaded.

  The bug is that after the spread appears, any movement of the mouse
  switches off the selective highlighting and dimming of valid/non-valid
  drop receptacles.

  Desired behaviour

  - The highlighting and dimming of Launcher icons should persist until the user drops the file.
  - Note that the 'spread when a item is held over a launcher icon' behaviour seems to be broken in the Oneiric final freeze release (nothing happens).
