Steps to reproduce:

1. Install Facebook integration.
2. Reboot the system.
3. Launch Firefox or Chromium.
4. Login in Facebook.

Expected result: Alt-tab must show Facebook icon.

However, sometimes the icon doesn't appear in alt-tab. In my case, the bug happens apparently randomly.

This is a three way race between the context daemon, bamf, and Unity...

i.e. whether when Unity first sees the interest the XID has already been set and registered by BAMF.

It's best to just not dispense interests from the context daemon until they have a XID :)
