[Michael Satke <1339714@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

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
