Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
I login using the "Ubuntu Netbook Edition" session, the screen goes white (bug #601088), the launcher appears and the icons are all white (bug #601093) and all but the first icon are folded as if there was not enough room on the launcher. I only have four icons in the launcher, so there is definitely room. After a second or two they unfold and appear normal.
The icons should unfolded if there is plenty of room on the launcher and should appear much more smoothly. At the moment they just appear and it is rather jarring.

I think this may be deliberate, as part of the subliminal cue to users
that icons *can* fold. I agree the current implementation is jarring (it
all seems to happen haphazardly rather than smoothly). David S should
comment on the desired entry and exit behaviour, and we should make sure
it feels slick, with a flash mockup if needed.
At a minimum, nothing should appear till we can render it fully (no
white placeholder) nor should things feel jaggy or laggy, so we need to
be confident the animation can be smooth if it's specified.
