Bug Description

1. open firefox
2. use workspace-switcher applet in the launcher before the app is fully loaded.

You can't see the app in the expo mode
If you come back to your worspace, the app is launched but invisible.
Clicking the launcher app icon does nothing.
right click the desktop and then left click the desktop does the magic !! it reappears
see video attached.

I've tested this with an up to date machine and an out-of-date machine, the out-of-date machine show the bug and the up-to-date one doesn't have it, and I've changed a bit in the expo plugin recently to do with paint occlusion (which is related to this) so perhaps I may have fixed it. Please let me know if its still an issue!
