Comment 6 for bug 246556

Thanks Amir for confirming. You are right, this is not good behavior, but that's why it is a bug ;). The timing script was to figure out if timing was the issue, and was meant to be a temporary workaround as well if needed. Keep in mind if Ubuntu were "Windowsish" you wouldn't even have the ability to use a different window manager/compositor, nor would third-party software like cairo-clock be supported by the OS company. Try telling Microsoft you found a bug in software like Firefox for example, and see if they care ;) We want things to be easy with Ubuntu, but certainly not Windows-like.
