mentors: Chani

Decription:

Our desktop shell has a dashboard effect that lets the user to display the desktop widgets that could be otherwise hidden by the application windows.

Make the dashboard go away when some actions are performed, like alt+tab, current active window changed, desktop grid effect trigger
Outcome: the dashboard should behave in a more natural and expected way hiding itself on the proper situations
