  * Expo plugin: Make sure the Expo animation is completed before
    allowing clicks to be handled. (LP: #1026553)

Sorry to be a bother, but this fix forces me to wait until the animation
is finished before right clicking on my desired desktop, otherwise the
plugin goes straight back to the workspace I came from.

Example:
* My desktop wall is 6 workspaces arranged as 3x2.
* I use the top right hot corner to activate Expo.
* Expo animation is set to the default 0.3 seconds.

When I use the top right hot corner, I move my mouse quickly to where I
anticipate my desired workspace to be. I then right click on that as
soon as I realise my mouse is above that, which is usually before the
Expo animation finishes. I then get dropped back to the workspace I came
from.

This happens more than 50% of the time (I've had 15.04 installed for
less than 24 hours). I tried a workaround: setting the animation speed
to 0.1 and 0.2 seconds, which is too fast for me and is visually
jarring. 0.3 seconds is nice, but makes Expo uncomfortable to use.

Title:
  Double clicking Workspace Switcher too fast switches workspaces and
  moves windows unpredictably

Status in Compiz:
  Fix Committed
Status in Compiz 0.9.11 series:
  Triaged
Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  If you click the workspace switcher twice you get back to the
  workspace you were on. However, when on a right side workspace (TR or
  BR in the default configuration), double clicking the switcher fast
  causes different behavior. The screen focuses on a left side workspace
  instead, and the active window may change and/or move around.

  To reproduce:

  1. Open a window on TL workspace.
  2. Move to TR workspace.
  3. Open another window there.
  4. Double click the workspace switcher in launcher
