Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
How to reproduce the bug:
1. Open an application that closes to indicator (like liferea, pidgin, rhythmbox, banshee, empathy and others)
2. Close said aplication (it does not really quit but instead runs and is accesible from the indicators).
3. Maximize another application
4. Try to grab or double click the top panel to unmaximize the application or try to middle click it to switch to another application
What happens: Grabbing, middle clicking and double clicking the top panel does not work
What should happen: It should work.
This is on Ubuntu Natty, up-todate, on Lenovo Thinkpad T500 (Intel graphics, if it is important).

I think I've found the problem.
If I have an app like Pidgin maximized and then close it, but it keeps running (like pidgin does, or thunderbird if you have a "close to tray" add-on), the top bar will stop responding to window actions like slide and double-click to restore window, middle-click to minimise, etc...
It also happens with Banshee, when you close it while it is playing (but only if it was maximized).
