[matteo sisti sette <1225774@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

At random times, and very, very often (I haven't found out what triggers
it), the Launcher stops showing up. That is, you move the mouse all the
way to the left of the screen and the Launcher doesn't show up. You
retry and retry but it won't show up.

Clicking randomly on some window's titlebar and retrying usually fixes
it. Most of the times, clicking on some other part of a window other
than the title bar won't do the trick. I'm not sure this is always the
case, but I'm under the impression it's necessary to click on a window's
titlebar, or at least that is far far more likely to do the trick.

This looks to me unrelated to #1225769, but I'm not sure; there may be
some nontrivial relation. What I can say is that the steps described in
1225769 don't systematically reproduce this one, which is more random,
but I can't tell for example whether or not having used Show Desktop is
a necessary condition to observe this issue.

  Launcher randomly stops showing up when you move the mouse to the left
