Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
Usually when a window wants your attention, it will cause the window to blink in the task bar (like when you receive an IM). But you can make _any_ window do this, simply by scrolling with the mouse wheel too quickly through tasks in the task bar.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a bunch of windows
2. Move mouse over taskbar
3. Scroll mouse wheel up and down quickly
You'll notice some of the windows in the taskbar (seems random) will start doing the glow/blink effect. This is really confusing if you get used to quickly scrolling down on the taskbar to look at the last window you have open or quickly scrolling up to look at the first.
I'm guessing for some reason gnome is reading the alert status of the window correctly if you switch from it too quickly.
