You beat me :-).

I had tested something similar to your original scenario, and confirmed 
the lag.  My test case was Fedora-16 running on Virtual Box with 
accelerated 3d.  Switching to "Activies/Applications" did result in a 
lag, as you reported.  But, I also noticed a lag when looking at the 
windows when in activity mode.

However, when I look at a real (non-virtual) Fedora,  I see no lag.  So, 
perhaps the lag is limited to virtual machine environments.

Still, in both test scenarios, there is odd clipping of the applications 
icons display.  I don't know yet if this is a real issue since it may 
accurately reflect the layering of the display of the application 
icons.  I'll keep checking.

Thanks for your input.
