When we switch to full screen, the toolbar should be displayed for a moment
before retracting to give a visual hint of where it went. It seems to only do
that on the first fullscreening though, but I fixed it upstream now. I also
made the toolbar retract a bit slower to be more deliberate.

As for the patch, the result doesn't look to intrusive to me, but we'd be
deviating from what virt-viewer, vinagre, and other users of this widget do.
My understanding is that this originally came from vmware workstation or
player or similar, might be worth seeing how they work with compiz WRT the
referenced bug. If even they have problems then I don't really feel like
changing anything from virt-manager's side since compiz obviously has bigger
problems.
