Bug Description

12.04 3D 64-Bit: up-to-date
Dash: 0.5.7-2ubuntu1

What you expected to happen:
I did expect a bigger clickable area around the bottom Dash icons (the icons to switch to another lens).

What happened instead
Right now there is a big margin box around every icon – when mouseovering - but only the icon itself is clickable. This is confusing and leads to many misclicks when trying to open another lens.

The Dash Home button has a quicklist as of Unity 5.0, so I am marking this as "Fix Released."
