Comment 1 for bug 810315

It's probably not fixable in the current scale plugin because the
scale plugin creates a giant window on top of everything. (for dnd)

Getting this fixed requires some careful co-ordination to raise the
launcher window above everything when scale mode is toggled and then
lower it when it is untoggled. That's not particularly easy though, as
there are no signals on actions.
