Title:
  When switching desktops Hangouts always steals focus

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I switch to a desktop that has the hangouts "window" on it, it
  steals the focus.

  Steps to repeat: 
  * Desktop 1 has a terminal and the hangouts window 
  * Type in the terminal 
  * Switch to desktop 2 (using CTRL+ALT+RightArrow) 
  * Switch back to desktop 1 
  * Continue typing in the terminal

  Outcome: Nothing happens in the terminal because your focus is on
  hangouts (as visible in the desktop title bar)

  Expected: The terminal keeps focus

  This is just one example (switching desktops) but there seems to be
  lots of different ways in which hangouts steals focus.

  It's not a traditional window so I don't see options to disable
  "always on top" if that's what's happening.

  I have tried to update the CCSM>General>Focus & Raise Behavior to set
  up focus prevention to no effect.
