Public bug reported:
The xwit command (from package xwit) provides a simple command-line
interface for de-iconifying and raising an X window. However, it
doesn't work for iconified windows in Unity. (It does work with other
window managers, even Unity 2D.) xwit simply calls XMapRaised(3) on the
specified window.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Install the xwit package.
2) Open a terminal, and get its windowid with "echo $WINDOWID". Record this
number.
3) Minimize the terminal window.
4) Open a second terminal window instance. Run "xwit -id <windowid>"
Expected behavior: The minimized terminal window should be de-iconified and
raised.
Actual behavior: Nothing happens in Unity. (But this does work in Unity 2D
and most others.)
This is on Ubuntu 12.04 with the following package versions:
unity 5.16.0-0ubuntu1
compiz 1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1.4
xwit 3.4-14
