New issue 22214 by [email protected]: In App mode, links opened in new  
tab don't go to foreground in the Chrome window we switch to
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=22214

NOTE: This bug is specific to App mode and is -not- a continuation of the
old argument that "Open link in new tab" should open a foreground tab
instead of a background tab. I don't think we should change that. The
problem I have is this:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch Chrome
2. Launch a website in app mode (chrome --app=http://www.google.com)
3. In the App Chrome window, right-click a link and select Open in new tab.

Since the link is in an App window, which doesn't support tabs, the request
gets shunted to the regular Chrome window and that window gets focus.
However, the tab it just opened does not.

We have to bring the other window to the foreground, in my opinion, since
otherwise it will look like this feature is completely broken. However, when
doing so we should bring the tab to the foreground, otherwise it will look
like we didn't open the tab requested.
