[Bug 910063] [NEW] Window of EOG does not has focus when opened from Nautilus

 

Public bug reported:

When an image is opened from Nautilus, thus starting the the standard
image viewer, EOG, this window does not has the immediate focus. A user
has to click into the window to move the focus to EOG.

This problem is especially cumbersome when EOG is opened maximized: a
user can not see that the global menu which is unhidden when moving the
mouse to the title bar, is *not* the menu of EOG (it is the menu of
Nautilus...). When trying to close EOG, a user *actually* closes the
former window (= Nautilus). Because the user see nothing changing
(because a hidden window underneath is closed), he clicks another time
and only then, the EOG window is closing. The user expects to come back
to Nautilus, but he will not find it.

I don't have to explain how confusing this is.

** Affects: unity (Ubuntu)
