Title:
  Clicking on launcher items results in incosistent actions

Status in Ayatana Design:
  New
Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On 12.04, there are five possible types of items on the launcher that result into incosistent actions when left-licked:
  (1) Dash launcher: First click opens the dash, second click closes it
  2) Application launchers: First click opens the application, second click does nothing (if there are more opens of the application open, it gets more complicated)
  3) (optional) Show desktop item: First click shows desktop, second restores windows that weren't previously minimized
  4) Workspace switcher: First click shows the workspaces, second goes to the selected workspace
  5) Trash: First click opens a new window, second click opens another new window and so on (bug 692444)

  Now, there are three types of action:
  A) (1), (3) and (4) = First click opens something, second click closes it
  B) (2) = First click opens something, second does nothing or focuses it
  C) [erroneous] = Every click opens a new window

  After bug 692444 is fixed, there will be only actions A) B) (Trash
  icon will behave as B)). Still, these are incosistent to me. As far as
  I know, consistency is one of the goals of Unity design. Of course,
  one of the possible solutions is to reopen and fix bug 733349, but
  that is not the only solution, I guess. I leave that to the Design
  team to decide.
