** Description changed:

- its an annoying bug. It is triggered sometimes for rhythmbox, I can
- reproduce it with Liferea. it seems there comes a race condition for
- indicator applet which causes the app to not focus. see the video. there
- is already a bug related to rhythmbox and quite possibly other apps too
- but the actual problem is in indicator applet I think. This bug is 100%
- reproduce able for me.

+ 1. open banshee, start a song in it and minimize
+ 2. open another application lets say gnome-terminal
+ 3. click on the sound menu and select banshee
+ 
+ What happens
+ banshee icon in the launcher wiggles and banshee main window is not shown
+ 
+ What should happen
+ banshee main window should come to focus
+ 
+ This is a long standing bug which Ted Gould thinks should be fixed at
+ window manager's level.
+ 
+ ====Some other observations=====
+ The problem wont happen 
+ 1. if every other app is minimized or
+ 2. Banshee is the only opened app or
+ 3. after opening gnome-terminal, banshee window is closed so that it hides to the SoundMenu and opened again

+ =====Comment from Ted Gould=====
+ <om26er> tedg, Hi! any thoughts on the long standing bug 627195 ? Its been there before unity so I guess we can conclude unity not to be responsible
+ 
+ <tedg> om26er, My thought is that window managers should $%#$ get
+ fixed... though I haven't convinced smspillaz of it yet.

** Summary changed:

- many apps are unfocused when they are raised from MessagingMenu or SoundMenu
+ Apps raised from indicators sometimes dont have the focus
