Look at the photo again. Notice at the bottom (which is actually the
left side of my screen) you'll see that the launcher is clearly visible,
yet beneath all the open windows. Notice at the top (which is the right
side of my screen) you'll see the shutter window displaying the screen
cap I took using Shutter.
SO, what this is showing is that while Shutter thinks that the launcher
and app lens are on top of everything, they are actually below
everything.
That being said, I did forget to use apport-collect, so thanks for
reminding me...

** Description changed:
Weird behaviour with Unity launcher. I run a fair number of windows
during the day, Chrome, a couple terminator sessions, IRC, mumble and so
forth. I usually maximize the chrome window and use the app switcher in
compiz to swap between the other windows. What I've found is that at
some point after I've been running for a while, the Unity launcher stops
appearing on top of everything.
Instead, it appears under all windows.
Unfortunately, the graphics system seems to think this is not the case.
I tried several screenshots and every single one showed the launcher and
the app lens on top of everything, even though to me, it appeared below
everything.
So, I'm attaching a photo taken with a digital camera. If you look
closely at the photo, you'll notice a couple of things. First, there's
a Shutter window open showing one of the screen caps that clearly shows
the launcher and app lens on top. BUT if you look just to the left,
you'll see that in fact, the launcher is actually BEHIND the terminator
window.
Try as I might, every screencap shows the launcher as it SHOULD be, not
as I actually see it.
