Bug Description

alt-tab is supposed to not show a preview of you only have one instance of an application (told JohnLea)
However:

Using unity 5.4 candidate from the staging ppa:

- go on a workspace, run an application, let's say gedit
- go to an empty workspace, middle click on gedit in the launcher to open a second instance
- alt-tab to gedit wait
-> a preview of one window (the one in the current ws) appear

-> the preview shouldn't appear on wait.
