Public bug reported:

When no windows are open on the screen, as when I've first logged in,
the Dash refuses to open. The launcher bar works (hiding/showing, as
expected), but clicking the Dash Home button or pressing the Super key
does nothing. As soon as I open any window (usually I drop down Tilda
using a key shortcut), the on-screen button and Super key both work
again.

This problem started after an upgrade from Precise to Quantal.
