Opening from terminal is not a valid example, since the terminals we currently have, do not set correctly the environment variable needed to pass to nautilus the startup-notification with the event timestamp that caused nautilus to open.
I know this, and as you can see I tried to change this upstream, but it's not the case since this is the wanted policy. An application that launches another one should say when this has happened in order to make the WM to focus it (this is important to avoid that applications that takes much time to load won't steal the focus, while you're currently doing something else). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1168858 Title: Nautilus window opens behind current window To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1168858/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
