Bug description:
Ubuntu 11.10 beta
compiz 1:0.9.5.94+bzr2803-0ubuntu5
unity 4.16.0-0ubuntu1
1. open banshee, start a song in it and minimize
2. open another application lets say gnome-terminal
3. click on the sound menu and select banshee
What happens
banshee icon in the launcher wiggles and banshee main window is not shown
What should happen
banshee main window should come to focus
This is a long standing bug which Ted Gould thinks should be fixed at
window manager's level.
====Some other observations=====
The problem wont happen
1. if every other app is minimized or
2. Banshee is the only opened app or
3. after opening gnome-terminal, banshee window is closed so that it hides to
the SoundMenu and opened again
=====Comment from Ted Gould=====
<om26er> tedg, Hi! any thoughts on the long standing bug 627195 ? Its been
there before unity so I guess we can conclude unity not to be responsible
<tedg> om26er, My thought is that window managers should $%#$ get
fixed... though I haven't convinced smspillaz of it yet.
=====The good rule=====
Indicators should present the application windows by passing to them the
timestamp of the menu item activation event.
Unfortunately for indicator-sound, this is not trival as it sounds, since it
needs a change to the MPRIS dbus specification.
See comment https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/627195/comments/26
for more informations.
Window managers will obey to it.
