Bug Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Open two or more windows of an application like Nautilus so that all are visible on the screen
2. Use the "Show Desktop" button to hide the windows
3. Activate the window spread by clicking at the icon of the application you launched two times

What is the expected output?

- all windows of the application (from current workspace) are shown in the spread, represented by a thumbnail

What do you see instead?

- all windows are technically "shown" but only the window activated by the first click at the icon has a working thumbnail
- the area where the other window-thumbnails should be located is functional but the thumbnails are missing

In fact, the non-minimized windows which get hidden by "Show Desktop" will be hidden from Window Spread too.

I added trusty and utopic tags, because the bug still exists on unity 7, both 32- and 64-bit versions.
