Yee haw, I don't know how this problem was solved after all, but after
updating to 15.04 all applications started through keyboard shortcuts
become active (they appear in the foreground with keyboard focus).

E. g. keyboard focus is in the input field when gnome-calculator is
started. To whom it may concern, but thank you very very much!
Everything works fine now again. Michael

Title:
  Application windows do not become active when started via keyboard
  shortcuts

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

Bug description:
  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
