Bug Description

I think this is a unity-bug for I encountered the behaviour also with thunderbird - when opening the conig dialog for example.
In Nautilus when copy dialog is open but all other windows are closed clicking on Home-Icon does not result in any effect because unity just remaximizes possibly hidden windows. Also when closing down the message window in Thunderbird and leave open the config-dialog I have to close everything before unity will open message-window again.

With nautilus it is more severe: I had an 18-hours-filetransfer and could not access my files via clicking in the sidebar after the copy dialog was the only window remaining open
