Removal of 21_correct_timestamp_.. patch returns focus issues in Unity session

[Doug McMahon]

The removal of the 21 patch, which fixed segfaults due to the http://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=629c9bc27a commit, has returned the focus issues in unity sessions only
There was an upstream nautilus fix for focus issues but it only fixes in gnome-* sessions not Unity session.

Again to test -
open a gnome-terminal, the open a non maxed nautilus window (may not happen 100% of the time but most of.

Orig focus bug noting this was never completly fixed both in terms of nautilus or other affected apps
Bug #781931
(the discarded gtk patch was & still is 100% effective though wouldn't know if it is a bad idea, never have had any issues using it here in 12.04/12.10 & current state of 13.04

I'm unassigning myself as I'm not sure how to fix this yet, and I don't want to prevent someone else from fixing it if they can figure it out.

What is "the rejected gtk patch"?

I've subscribed Andrea Azzarone which was the original author of the Nautilus patch (which also got rejected, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674816#c7). Andrea, maybe you can update the patch to work with 3.6.1?

Note that I don't use Unity myself, and I can't reproduce this issue on GNOME Shell / Classic, so maybe it's Compiz issue?

It used to be linked in orig LP bug above, by andyrock, though don't see anymore

Anyway will attach here. (I'm not anywhere qualified to say it's something that should be done, only that I've never seen any issue with gtk patched in any session & it fixed all focus issues 12.04 thru current 13.04 using the proposed gtk-3 source.

The orig. bug was more than nautilus but the report was switched to nautilus only. Even then, (with the 21 patch) there still was at least one way to have it occur as mentioned, https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/781931/comments/46

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Doug McMahon (mc3man)]

Overall this is pretty much a no nothing bug. That being said the new proposed fix appears to only be partially effective
Seems to work ok when left clicking on launcher icon but has no affect if using a quicklist entry instead, nautilus will open behind.
Also doesn't address similar issues with firefox & sometimes synaptic

(the upstream nautilus fix itself isn't 100% in Gs but that's their problem & I don't know if they care if ctrl+alt+t opens a terminal underneath
