Title:
  Parts of Unity are becoming invisible after taking a timed screenshot
  of the "Alt-Tab" screen

Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I wanted to take a screen-shot of my desktop while the application
  switcher (Alt+Tab) is opened.

  Obviously, tapping the "Prt Sc" key would not work, (Most likely
  because I have to keep the "Alt" key pressed, to keep the the
  Application Switcher visible).So I used the gnome-screenshot app.

  This is what I did, and steps to reproduce the problem.

  - Kept the default selection ("Grab the whole screen), and set a delay of 3 seconds.
  - Press take screenshot
  - Press Alt-Tab and keep the Alt button pressed while waiting for the screenshot to be taken
  - I might be wrong here but this bug only happens when the activated window after taking the screenshot is maximized.
  - When the screenshot is taken, the window will appear which shows the screenshot.
  - Release the Alt key.
  - At this point, Unity will be somewhat broken.
  * Pressing the Super key will no longer show the dashboard.
  * Pressing Alt-Tab doesn't show the Application switcher.

  To fix it, I keep middle clicking with the mouse on the top bar to bring the current window to the background. Until I reach the Screenshot.
  After I close it, everything is turned back to normal.

  I'm not sure if this is a bug in Unity or in Gnome Screenshot, but
  since it only occurs with me while using the gnome-screenshot package,
  I filed the bug here.
