Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
Unity 3.6.0-0ubuntu2, Ubuntu Natty alpha 3
1. Click the Ubuntu button.
2. Click the "Shortcuts" heading.
What happens: The entire contents of the Dash (except the search field) disappears, but nothing else appears.
There's no point in something being collapsible if there's nothing for it to make room for. It's not even as if it's making a window smaller, because the Dash covers the whole screen anyway.
What should happen: either
- the "Shortcuts" heading should not exist at all; or
- the "Shortcuts" heading should not be clickable and should not have a disclosure triangle; or
- there should, by default, be something below "Shortcuts" that has more room if "Shortcuts" is collapsed.

How it's specified is that collapsing the shortcuts header should shrink the dash and then searching for something in the global search should only expand it to show the two default rows, rather than always having the dash show the home icons that some users might not use.
I'll use this bug as a tracker for the implementation of this expanding/ collapsing.
