Unity menu icon becomes visible for a short duration when it is hidden when awn-terminal is focussed with a full-screen active window

[Guruprasad]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open some application and make it full screen. Unity menu will auto-hide
2. Open the awn terminal applet.
3. An icon for awn terminal is created on unity menu and it alone becomes visible for a short time before it auto hides.

what is awn terminal can you make a video to show the problem you are reporting that would make it easy for us to understand.

[Guruprasad (lgp171188)]

awn = avant window navigator, a dock application that is available in ubuntu. (package:avant-window-navigator). It has a lot of applets that could be added to the dock. Few of the applets are 'animal farm' applet that displays fortune messages, 'awn terminal' applet that provides a popup terminal shell, 'workspace switcher' applet that provides workspace switching functionality and so on.

When an applet like 'animal farm' is clicked, it shows a fortune message in a popup and the unity launcher menu is unchanged. But when the 'awn terminal' applet is clicked, ubuntu launcher menu shows a gray icon with a "?" in it.

When the 'awn terminal' applet is clicked when there is an active maximized window, the icon for the 'awn terminal' applet appears partially in the desktop for a short duration and disappears. This is the bug. Even for other applications like nautilus, when opening home folder or other places, half of the launcher menu icons become visible for a short period of time and then get hidden.

Please check the screenshot for the illustration of the problem and see the ? icon in the right side of the screen that corresponds to the open awn terminal
