Bug Description

When switching workspaces with the spread, the windows appear corrupted after the spread disappears.
An example of the corruption can be seen in the screenshot attached.
I can reproduce consistently this way:
- Open two windows on workspace 1, make them not maximized and overlapping
- Right click on their titlebars and select "move to workspace right" from the menu
- Press Super+s or click on the workspaces button in the launcher
- When the workspaces switcher comes up, select workspace 2 and then click on one of the windows on it

At this point the current workspace becomes workspace 2, and the windows displayed there appear corrupt.
Moving the windows around will clear the corruption by forcing them to repaint.

The problem in this bug was formerly tracked as part of bug 740387 but it was split since this issue is specific to unity-2d while the other bug was specific to the classic gnome session.

  * debian/unity-2d-launcher.install:
    - do not install usr/lib/qt4/imports/UnityApplications/ anylonger as all of
      UnityApplications features have been moved to the Unity2d QML plugin
      installed by libunity-2d-private0
  * debian/control:
    - unity-2d-places and unity-2d-spread do not depend on unity-2d-launcher.
      All they need is now in libunity-2d-private0.
