When called from shortcut, beagle-search doesn't get focus properly

[Ulisse]

Binary package hint: beagle

steps to reproduce:
- open an application, FIrefox i.e.
- make sure that application's window has focus
- hit your favorite keyboard shortcut to call Beagle-search (mine is F12)

beagle-search appears under the currently focused window.

- hit F12 again to make beagle-search disappear
- hit F12 again to call it again

now it appears over the window and gets the focus.

Calling Beagle-search from the tray icon work as expected, instead.

I'm running Ubuntu 7.04 and Beagle Search 0.2.16.3

Resetting status until someone else confirms symptom.

This is still an issue in Lucid.

This appears to be a window manager setting. In compiz, you can work-around this issue by going into the CompizConfig Settings Manager -> General Settings -> Focus and Raise Behavior -> Focus Prevention Level -> Off. Or, you can add a certain window to the list of exceptions.

beagle was removed some time after 10.04, and this is a low priority bug, so marking as Won't fix.
