** Description changed:
As per a recent thread on unity-design: log in to a profile with the
launcher set to auto-hide. The current behaviour in this case has two
problems:
1. Discoverability. The launcher loads hidden, so users may not know
where to find it (especially if they're borrowing someone else's profile
and don't know it's set to hidden in the first case).
2. Wiggle-animation. Every single icon on the launcher does the little
wiggle-animation when it loads, which is standard because an icon has
just appeared on a hidden launcher. This looks very odd and can probably
be quite confusing as the entire left side of the screen wiggles and
then disappears.
It would probably make sense to show the launcher when logging in, even
when it is set to autohide. Once it is fully loaded then it should
animate-hide using the standard animation.

+ ---------------------------------------
+ Desired solution:
+
+ - When a user logs onto a desktop with the Launcher set to autohide, the
+ Launcher should display for 3 seconds before hiding.
+
+ - Launcher icons *should not* perform the wiggle animation when the user
+ logs in.
