Title:
  With dual displays unity launcher favours windows on its own display

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On a dual display system (Quantal alpha up to date) if an application
  has multiple windows open on different displays then using the
  launcher icon to return to the app goes to the window on the display
  the launcher is on, even if the focus was previously on the other
  display.

  To reproduce, on a dual display system with the launcher on the right hand display open two firefox windows and place one on each display.
  Open a Nautilus window and place it partially over the firefox window in the left hand display.
  Click on the Firefox window in the left hand display then on the Nautilus window.
  Click on the Firefox launcher.

  What should happen: focus should return to the Firefox window in the left hand display
  What happens: focus goes to the Firefox window in the right hand display.

  If the launcher is moved to the left hand display then in the
  equivalent situation focus will return to the firefox window in the
  left hand display.

  The symptom does not appear to be specific to the application,
  reversing the role of nautilus and firefox in the above scenario
  results in focus returning to the wrong nautilus window.
