Title:
  panel: window list applet should raise a lowered window

Status in GNOME Panel:
  Expired
Status in gnome-panel package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Currently, if I have window A and B both on my screen, but window B is 
obscuring
  window A (higher layer), if I click on the window list applet for window A, I
  expect it to raise window A to be on top of window B. However, since window A 
is
  not minimized, the applet sees fit to minimize window A, even though I cannot
  see it and do not wish it to be minimized. 

  When I click on a window in the window list applet, I expect to be able to see
  it and use it. If I can already see it and use it, then minimizing is fine, 
but
  not if it's completely obscured by an existing window. This is bad default
  behaviour, IMHO. 

  Also, if I right-click on the window icon in the window list applet, the menu
  does not include an option to raise the window to the top layer. My only real
  option is to click on the indicator twice, minimizing and then un-minimizing 
the
  window, and when it comes back up it's placed on the layer above the other
  windows. That should be what happens when you click on it once, no?

  Thanks.
