Title:
  [check] Inconsistant behavior for app.focus and swtchApp depending on
  method of running script

Status in Sikuli:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  There seems to be inconsistent behavior if you run the script from
  different places in windows 7 64 (SP1 Home Premium). Running Sikuli
  1.0.1.

  if I run a script containing:
  check = switchApp('wammp - TightVNC Viewer')

  or

  VNC = App('wammp - TightVNC Viewer')
  VNC.focus()

  from the sikuli IDE or the windows command prompt, it brings the
  window to the front.

  If, however, using python 2.7.5, I run the command in a script from
  inside a python program , or from idle or other python command lines
  using the subprocess module, I get different behavior.

  python call:

  process =
  subprocess.Popen(['C:\\Users\\USER\\Desktop\\sikuli\\runScript.cmd',
  '-r', 'C:\\Users\\USER\\Desktop\\sikuli\\scripts\\run_PCS', '--args',
  name,
  waittime],shell=True,stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stderr=subprocess.PIPE)

  In this case, the exact same sikuli script that worked when run with
  the IDE or directly from CMD will instead fail to bring the window
  forward. The window icon on the taskbar will begin flashing, but it
  will not actually bring the window forward.
