Title:
  Certain applications do not take focus when files are opened via the
  dash

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I noticed that when I tried to open text files via the dash, gedit did
  not take focus. I decided to check a few other applications, and while
  libreoffice and evince both would take focus, eye of gnome had the
  same issue gedit does. Both gedit and eye of gnome do, however, take
  focus when the same files are access via nautilus.

  Here is a video demonstrating the issue: http://youtu.be/8wuObjxofF0

  In the video you'll notice that when I open the files for gedit and
  eye of gnome via the dash, their windows do not take focus, noted by
  the fact that the window border stays colorless, and the global menu
  does not display the title of the window. You'll also notice that both
  applications behave correctly when the files are accessed via
  nautilus. Libreoffice is also shown, so that you can see it only
  effects certain applications.

  Also, the video does not show it, but opening the applications via the
  dash works as expected. In other words, if I launch gedit via the
  dash, it takes focus, however, if I open a file, which will open in
  gedit, it will not take focus.

  
  To reproduce:

  Open a text file via the dash, either by searching and hitting
  "enter," or by clicking a recently used file.
