Public bug reported:

I'm running version 1:1.2-3 on Xubuntu 15.04 with xfwm4 4.12.1-1ubuntu1.

When an image is being shown on fullscreen, geeqie prevents other
windows to be raised and shown. After I try to switch to another window,
geeqie then gets stuck: doesn't leave fullscreen and doesn't allow any
other window to receive focus; when it gets into this state, I have to
switch to a console session and kill the geeqie process.

On Xubuntu 14.10, xfwm4 had a bug
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/1394439)  that
prevented other windows to be raised, but it has been fixed because if I
go fullscreen with, let's say, smplayer, I'm able to switch to other
windows. So now it seems to be a specific problem with geeqie.

Steps to reproduce this:

1. Open, let's say, an editor such as gvim
2. Open geeqie
3. Show an image
4. Switch to fullscreen by clicking 'f'
5. Try to switch to gvim by clicking on Ctrl-TAB

Results:

gvim is not shown, and thereafter geeqie doesn't leave fullscreen anymore, and 
no other window can be shown.
Let me know how I can help debug this.

Workaround:

Downgrade geeqie to 1:1.1-8build1 from Utopic.
