Restoring Firefox from minimised is not smooth

[Michael Hope]

To reproduce:
 * Launch Firefox
 * Minimise the window
 * Bring up the launcher panel
 * See that the Firefox icon shows that the app is running
 * Click on the Firefox icon in the launcher
 * See the Firefox window animate while restoring
 * See the window try to restore to one area for the first 80 % of the restore
 * See the window bend left while restoring the rest of the way

The animation is fine but the path the window goes through is weird. A little bit drunk?

Seen on natty beta1 with a Radeon graphics on x86_64 Thinkpad R500.

I also noticed this. But its too too too too minor a problem.

Affects compiz, not Unity.

I'm pretty sure that this is the intended behavior of the animation.
We can revert it back to non-springy if people really don't like it.

In my opinion the current restore looks a bit weird. It might be more noticeable in FF as the window takes longer to paint so the animation is more obvious.

Oh, is it supposed to be 'flying' in? On my screen it looks like it zooms in and then wanders to the right a bit before it settles down. It looks better when the animation is smoother.
