Bug description:
What happens:
If an application has multiple windows, clicking once on the launcher
icon, or selecting a app icon in Alt-Tab raises all windows.
This bug is only present in Unity3d, Unity2d currently has the correct
behaviour. This bug must be fixed as early as possible in Precise
because it is not acceptable for clicking on a Launcher icon to do
different things in Unity2d and Unity3d.
------------------------
What should happen:
If an application has multiple windows, clicking once on the launcher
icon should raise only the most recently focussed window (that is not
currently minimised).
If an application has multiple windows, selecting a Alt-Tab icon
should raise only the most recently focussed window (that is not
currently minimised).
Excluding windows "that are not currently minimised" means that if a
application (say 'Terminal') has two windows open (A and B), and the
user minimises one window (window A) and then focuses a different
application, if the user clicks on the 'Terminal' launcher icon (or
selects the 'Terminal' icon in Alt-Tab), window B should be brought to
the front of the Z stack and window A should remain minimised.
This behaviour occurs on the latest build of 12.04 beta and unity 5.6.0.

*IMPORTANT NOTE* - This bug must be fixed for both Alt-Tab and the
Launcher at the same time
