Title:
Window management - unity doesn't realise when applications bring
their windows to the front
Status in Ayatana Design:

Status in Unity:

Bug description:
To reproduce:
1. Run Firefox.
2. Run Synaptic (non-maximized) and select a program to install or to
reinstall.
3. Click Apply and OK to install/reinstall the program and then while
Synaptic is downloading, click on Firefox to bring the Firefox window to the
front.
4. When Synaptic finishes downloading and starts installing, it brings its
window and dialog back to the front, ie in front of Firefox's window.
5. Click on either the part of the Firefox window visible behind Synaptic or
on the Firefox icon in unity-launcher to try and restore to the front.
Result: nothing happens. Unity does not bring Firefox's window back to
the front, presumably because unity still thinks Firefox is the
current application/front window.
The only workaround I've found is to click on the Synaptic window or
its unity-launcher icon and then to click on Firefox to bring it back
to the front.
A second way of reproducing this, if there is a system update for
which the list of changes is not yet available, is:
1. Run Firefox and minimize it.
2. Run update-manager and find an update that has an http link for the
updates, ie where it says "The list of changes is not available yet. Please
use...".
3. Click on the link. Firefox will be brought to the front, obscuring
update-manager, but unity-launcher will have a blue arrow next to Firefox's
icon to indicate that it needs attention.
4. Click on update-manager's icon in unity-launcher to bring it back to the
front.
Result: nothing happens. Unity thinks update-manager is already the
front window.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Steps to reproduce:
* You need to use some app that gets automatically sent to the front at some
moment, like Update Manager or Synaptic. Start updating or installing packages.
* While Update Manager is downloading, use another app, say Firefox.
-> At some point, Update Manager gets automatically sent to the front (while
updating the cache or starting to install).
Observed behaviour:
* The unfocused Update Manager window is in front of Firefox (the global
menu still shows the menu of Firefox)
* Clicking on the Firefox window (if visible) or on the Firefox icon in the
launcher (if Update Manager or Synaptic is fullscreen) does NOT bring it back
to the front.
* You have to focus the Update Manager window, then click on the Firefox one
to put it to the front.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Another simple way to reproduce this:
* Open GIMP
* Open a terminal Window
* From the terminal window run the command "gimp foo-image.png"
* A gimp dialog will be raised, but not focused
* Clicking on the launcher's terminal icon won't raise the terminal
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Desired resolution:
- if an active window is behind another (that is not pinned-to-front)
window, any action on it (and a click on its launcher icon) should
bring it to the front
