[Bug 1282719] [NEW] install window is not 'sticky'; scroll wheel makes it 'disappear'

Public bug reported:

Potential confusion for operators during installation:

During QATracker 14.04 Trusty Tahr Daily testing the install 'window' is
not 'sticky' -- appearing on all workspaces --  using a mouse scroll
wheel while the cursor is on the blank 'desktop' makes the window
'disappear' when actually one is only inadvertently changing the
workspace, which accidental change could confound an unwitting operator
who might not know how to recover the original workspace since there is
no workspace indicator displayed.

One could wonder: Why should there be more than one workspace for
ubiquity?

Alternatively one could ponder that making the default behaviour of the
mouse wheel actuation to change to another workspace is problematic.
