Title:
  Launcher got sticky and won't hide

Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Launcher has suddenly stopped hiding and showing automatically, it got "sticky" (i.e. always visible).
  I'm pretty sure it will start working fine at the next reboot (or even just logout/in).

  I think it is related to the following:
  - I opened Firefox by clicking on its launcher icon
  - Firefox somehow hanged; 
  -I couldn't move neither Firefox's window nor other windows (e.g. Chrome), however I could switch among tabs within Fifefox and within Chrome
  - no program would respond to keyboard input, but mouse input seemed to work
  - I closed Firefox by right-clicking on its launcher icon and selecting "quit"

  => then everything went back to normal, except that the Launcher now
  won't hide.

  This may or not have been triggered by a bug in Firefox, but in both
  cases there's a bug in Launcher if it can, under any circumstance,
  "leak" its status or whatever determines its capacity to hide and
  show.
