Public bug reported:

The situation:
I have a running instance of empathy, "hidden" in the messaging menu. Whenever i want to open the main window to start a conversation, i have several ways to get there: messageing menu, pinned icon in the launcher, calling the dash and typing the name.

In all those cases, empathy's main window shows as expected, but never
gets the focus, so you have to click it first to be able to use the
menu.

There is only one other instance where this happens, and that is if i
call the running instance of google-music-frame (using gnome's web-app
functionality) via the dash. It does not happen if i call GMF via the
sound menu.

Everytime the problem with the focus appears, the window controls of the
corresponding window are grayed out, even though they work fine. The
stay grayed out, even if i focus the window manually. I attach a small
screenshot of the controls.
