App icon appears in Alt+Tab after 15 seconds

Created attachment 256898 [details] bug demonstration video If I run Web, often I don't see it in the Alt+Tab switcher until roughly 15 seconds elapse. See video. I see this also with some other applications (like Zim), so maybe this is a gnome-shell bug? epiphany-3.10.0-1.fc20.x86_64 gnome-shell-3.10.0.1-1.fc20.x86_64
Yes, most likely a shell bug. Please reassing.
Reassigning to gnome-shell.
I can not reproduce these bug when I tried Web or Zim in GNOME 3.15.92.
I think this is most likely an Epiphany bug -- is the spinner running in the app menu all that time? It doesn't appear in the Alt+Tab menu until we emit a startup notification, since it would be silly to show apps in Alt+Tab before they have started. Notice also the spinner running in the app menu at the start of the video; I guess that would have continued to spin for 15s had you not switched away with Alt+Tab? So the question is, why is our startup notification delayed so severely? (That's not to say it is definitely not a gnome-shell issue -- maybe it missed the startup notification somehow -- but I see no evidence to implicate it rather than Epiphany.) Is this issue something you can reproduce reliably? Have you seen it since 3.10?
I tested this with gnome-shell 3.14.3 and 3.15.92 and I wasn't able to reproduce this issue. I think this can be closed and reopened if somebody sees it again.
