Title:
  Application windows do not become active when started via keyboard
  shortcuts

Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I used to start Gnome-calculator and Thunderbird via my keyboard short
  cuts. This used to work very well andd handy, for my keyboard has some
  extra keys for those purposes.

  Now I can still start the desired applications, but I have to do an
  extra click (or alt-tab) on their window to get them active. This ist
  particularly annoying and unhandy for the calculator. I tested this
  contra-productive behaviour on thunderbird and on gnome-calculator.

  This bug seems to have occured about May 2014, and is active in 14.04
  (my desktop computer) and 13.10 (my laptop computer).

  I consider this a very small bug, and so i hope this is really easy to
  fix.

  Thank you in advance, Michael
