Bug Description

SRU testcase

1. make sure the dash is in Desktop mode
2. click its outer border
3. see the dash closes
4. now install unity from precise-proposed
5. note the dash does not close anymore by clicking its border

Currently clicking on the desktop dash border closes the Dash, this is incorrect.

Desired behaviour:
- Clicking on the desktop dash border should do nothing. The dash should remain open.

This will be fixed with: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/857422 however I am not planning to do it in time for the next upload as it's nontrivial (and has the potential to break some things...). Going to guess no one feels too strongly about this making it in this cycle?

I am seeing this bug quite often using Unity from trunk, everytime I try to use the scroll bar the dash ends up closed
