Public bug reported:

Expected behaviour:
- In the folder window press enter to open a text document
- Wait for gedit to go full screen
- The active window should now be gedit, press ctrl+f to search for text and perform over keyboard commands on gedit

Actual Behaviour:

Nautilus keeps the active window status even though gedit may be
completely full screen. Any key commands pressed go to nautilus even
though the window it hiding behind the now full screen application.

gedit is just the example, it could be any application not opened with
the mouse. It seems that because no mouse input is received the new
window whatever it may be never becomes the active window. This is
wrong, the application that is launched by pressing the enter button
should also become active not just for mouse clickers.

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
