panel autohide when on Quicklist

Confirming on natty

Action plan for solving this problem:

Currently Launcher.cpp is relatively unaware of when a quicklist is visible at all. Launcher triggers mouse in/out events into LauncherIcon and they do with them as they please. Ideally we would create a new class, QuicklistManager which would provide the following public interface:

QuicklistManager * Default ();

QuicklistView * Current ();

void RegisterQuicklist (QuicklistView *quicklist);

void ShowQuicklist (QuicklistView *quicklist, bool hide_existing_if_open = true);
void HideQuicklist (QuicklistView *quicklist);

sigc::signal<void, QuicklistView*> quicklist_opened;
sigc::signal<void, QuicklistView*> quicklist_closed;

Launcher would then simply watch signal on the QuicklistManager, and all LauncherIcon's would register their quicklists with the QuicklistManager and show them through that interface.

This bug was fixed in the package unity - 3.2.12-0ubuntu1

---------------
unity (3.2.12-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
   - Window border doesn't get restored (LP: #691812)
   - When a menu is triggered from Alt+key, app name stays visible on panel
     (LP: #691765)

     shortcut will be implemented if we are in intellihide mode
   - Make sure an underscore is correctly placed under the corresponding
     accelerator-key. (LP: #683427)
   - Adding a dummy --replace option for compatibility reason (LP: #692569)
   - Compiz crashed with SIGSEGV in CompWindow::id() (LP: #694945)
   - Tooltip text not vertically centered (LP: #697791)
   - Maximizing a window horizontally or vertically removes the title bar
     (LP: #696780)
   - Mousewheel support for indicators (LP: #681428)

  * debian/control:
    - unity breaks on older bamf version (dbus protocol changed)
    - needs latest and greatest from dee
    - add libatk1.0-dev build-dep
  * CMakeList:
    - distro-patch to avoid building tests right now as building them is failing
      with the current vala/gir stack. THIS NEED TO BE REMOVED.
  * debian/rules:
    - don't --fail-missing as we don't want to install the vapi yet. The gir
