Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
Whenever the window buttons change between application and top panel, the first try to unminimize a minimized application via the launcher will fail (but the global menu gets updated correctly).
To reproduce:
1.) Start a gnome-terminal from the launcher (not maximized).
2.) Click on its minimize button, then on the launcher -> gnome-terminal gets restored like expected
3.) Maximize the window to bring the window buttons to the top panel.
4.) Now minimize gnome-terminal, then click on the launcher -> the global menu will update but gnome-terminal won't show (plus, the desktop is blocked).
5.) Click on the launcher again -> the app expose mode gets initiated.
6.) Click on the gnome-terminal to focus it and repeat 4. -> this time gnome-terminal gets restored to its maximized state like expected (subsequent tries succeed as well).
7.) Unmaximize gnome-terminal to bring the window buttons back to the application.
9.) Repeat 2. -> the global menu will update but gnome-terminal won't show (plus, the desktop is blocked where the window is supposed to be).
10.) Clicking the launcher a second time again will start the app expose mode, selecting the gnome-terminal will show it in its unmaximized state and repeating the process will succeed.

I see this a lot too. I need to unminimise all the windows (Ctrl+Alt+D) and then click on the window I want for it to show. jason, please see if we can guard against this behaviour.
