Title: Gnome doesn't focus after app operation an already open app Status in Metacity: Fix Released Status in metacity package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: metacity If I open a link in mail program. im or something like that and Firefox is not running it is started and gets a focus but if Firefox is already running the link gets loaded in Firefox but the mail program still has the focus so you think nothing happens. The most annoying problem is that Firefox opens for some operation like downloads a new window. If you change back to main Firefox and click another download which appears in the opened popup you have to change manually to it. But this is not only Firefox specific since it doesn't happen in KDE or Windows afaik. Same happens with Totem and I guess many more appliations which allow only one instance. If someones want to check it. 1. Open Nautilus and make it full screen. 2. Open a video in Totem. 3. Change back to Nautilus. 4. Start another video with Totem. => Totem plays the new video but doesn't get focused. Same happens with Evolution. If it is already running and you start it again another instance is started but it gets not focused. This doesn't happen if no Evolution is running. It is very likely that people click several times on a file until they realize.
