Launcher - when a user starts dragging a item, any folded launcher icons that are valid drop receptacles should unfold.

@John: when DND starts should unfold just the valid folded icons or all the folded icons?

@andyrock; just the valid folded icons. You might want to catch up with JasonS before implementing on this one, I know he has already put some thought into exactly how to do this. We can discuss in Budapest.
