Bug Description
When the Dash is open the Launcher should remain active (even though the visual appearance is toned down as specified by bug #750358).
When the Dash is open and the cursor is moved over the Launcher, all the Launcher items should re-saturate back to their normal state.
Clicking on any Launcher item while the Dash is open should:
1) Close the Dash
2) Launch or focus the selected item (normal Launcher behaviour)
To summarize, the behaviour of the Launcher should remain exactly the same irrespective of whether the Dash is open or closed. Additionally clicking on any Launcher item when the Dash is open should immediately close the Dash.

It also creates an a11y regression: I don't see how users are supposed to focus the launcher and navigate through entries anymore.
For reference, this change was triggered by this design change: https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ayatana- design/ +bug/741926
Asking for design guidance. Since it's very late, I think we should revert the change and keep the launcher activated in dash mode.
