Bug Description

When using the autopilot helpers to swipe to a different scope I have seen failures where the swipe operation sometimes does not work and so the scope does not change. I've seen this on both krillin and mako.

The methods used are _scroll_to_left_scope() and _scroll_to_right_scope() in:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-team/unity8/trunk/view/head:/tests/autopilot/unity8/shell/emulators/dash.py

I found that by slowing down the speed of the swipe (using rate of 5 instead of 10) that the swipe operation was reliable.
