Description Tony Tsui 2005-01-25 02:56:17 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Opening folders in Places menu doesn't open the folder on top if you have just
interacted with another application.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open gedit
2. Type some text
3. Go to Places menu and click on Home


Actual results:
The Home folder window is beneath the gedit window

Expected results:
The Home folder window should be above the gedit window

Does this happen every time?
Yes

$prefix/share/applications/nautilus-home.desktop does not contain
"StartupNotify=true".  That file is maintained under nautilus, so this is
actually a nautilus bug.

In general, if apps like nautilus, gnome-terminal, mozilla, epiphany (i.e. ones
that request a previously running instance to open a new window instead of
opening one themselves and thus only ever have one instance running) aren't
getting focus when launched from the panel it is because either

a) The application isn't being launched with startup-notification (the
   "StartupNotify=true" thing

or

b) The application doesn't support startup notifcation timestamp forwarding (a
   requirement for apps that forward "open-a-window-for-me" requests like these
   apps)

or both.
