I took a stab at this one... Reverted the AppLauncherIcon to the earlier state that will grab focus if it gets the scroll event, and changed Launcher itself to check its new setting activate_on_scroll to decide if the event should even be sent. New option is exposed at the bottom of the CCSM Unity Launcher tab.
