Yes, mis-matched focus is definitely not a feature ;-) >>> >>> 2. When you press and hold super, then the launcher appears almost >>> immediately.

I think it's to reduce visual clutter, eg, everything happening at the same time when you press super. It basically works like this Tap Super -> Launcher shown + Dash appears Press Super (eg, ~ 1 second) -> Launcher shown Press and hold Super -> Launcher + shortcuts shown. > >>> 3.

You can find the documentation on http://wiki.compiz.org/Development or if there's something that's not explained there you can ask me on #compiz-dev on freenode (I'm smspillaz).
