Bug Description
Hello.
I just had this strange behaviour whilst trying out a workaround for the incorrect window preview thumbnails issue.
When I enable the workaround 'Keep previews of minimised windows', it seems to stop me 'unminimising' minimised windows more than once.
1. I enable 'Keep previews of minimised windows' in 'Workarounds' in compiz-config;
2. Minimise a window (in my case, the compiz-config window);
3. Try to immediately restore the window by clicking on it's window button in the xfce4-panel;
4. Nothing happens, though you can seem to 'resize' and 'move' the ghostly apparition of a window via it's menu from the panel, nothing appears;
5. Click on another window or rotate your cube.
6. Clicking on the window button (immediately after changing focus) restores the window from the window button as expected;
7. Minimise the window once more;
8. Goto 3;
