[FFe, UIFe] HUD - The HUD does not respect launcher icon size settings in autohide mode

Bug Description

I have installed unity 5.1 with HUD from ppa:unity-team/hud, currently at version 5.1.0-hud1. This is on Precise.

Steps to reproduce:
- In compizconfig-settings-manager > unity, set Behaviour > Hide Launcher to "Never" and Experimental > Launcher Icon Size to 32
- Invoke the HUD by tapping Alt

The icon on le left-hand side of the HUD overlay is of size 48, and the launcher is hidden, leaving an unexpected gap at the left of maximized windows. Screenshot attached.

------------------------
Desired solution:

If the Launcher is 'locked out', opening the HUD should *never* hide the Launcher. See attached designs Matrix_Launcher_Open1.png and Matrix_Launcher_Open2.png

this would need input from design. Added ayatana-design as affects and status -> incomplete.

+1 from the Docs Team. It would be great to have this fixed soon.

I consider this a bug fix, approved.

Reverted to "confirmed" because the HUD still does not respect launcher icon size settings

Note: it does not respect launcher icon size settings when autohiding the launcher, but it does when the launcher is locked.
