Bug Description

Sometimes an application window is not displayed in its entirety on one desktop and parts of it are on the desktop next to it.

In such case clicking on the launcher-button for this application should switch to the desktop with the most content of the application.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open an application
2. Move the application window in such way that a small part of it is one the desktop to the right.
3. Switch to the desktop to right
4. Start an other application there
5. Click on the icon for the application you started in step 1 in the unity-dash

Result:
You are stuck on the current (right) desktop even when only a few pixels from the application are on the desktop.

Expected Result
I would prefer it when the desktop with the most content of the application would get the focous.
