Bug Description

This is a regression of bug #1035628. It happens when using the switcher *very* quickly:

[Impact]

Focus losing possibility when alt-`/alt-tab:ing.

[Test Case]

Alt+Tab doesn't lose window focus
---------------------------------
This tests ensures that a racing condition is not possible anymore when alt+tabing.

Setup:
#. Have 2 windows of different types open. (gedit, nautilus)

Actions:
#. Press quicky Alt+Tab. (so that the switcher window is not shown)
#. Repeat 10 times.

Expected Results:
No window loses focuses at all. The panel should alway show the title of the window.
