  Keyboard shortcuts open window in background

Bug description:
  Hi,

  When opening an application through a keyboard shortcut I defined (of
  the sort Ctrl+Alt+[some letter]), it often happens that the
  application is opened in a window that is kept in the background. The
  phenomenon happens every time with certain shortcuts (those pointing
  to thunderbird, firefox or a custom shortcut to nautilus in a specific
  folder), never with others (custom shortcut for gnome-terminal in a
  specific folder), and "depends" with yet others (it seems that a
  shortcut to Gedit will pop up nicely in the foreground if gedit is
  closed, but otherwise will open a new document and keep the gedit
  window in the background).

  The phenomenon happens on two fresh installs of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. It
  basically kills all the interest of defining efficient keyboard
  shortcuts. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  Thanks.
