[Bug 781931] Re: New windows are moved to front but don't take focus

 

Simple reproduction:

1. Open terminal.
2. Run any of the following commands:
    * xdg-open .
        - Expected: Nautilus opens, becomes front window with focus
        - Actual: Nautilus opens, becomes first non-front window without focus
    * xdg-open http://ubuntu.com
        - Expected: Browser opens, becomes front window with focus
        - Actual: Browser opens, becomes first non-front window without focus

Nautilus is opened, but sits below the terminal window.  Rayner Pires
workaround, mentioned in February, causes the correct behavior, but I
don't know what side-effects it may cause.
