can only open 1 gnome-terminal if launched from favorites

[Jared Langson]

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

Version information:
Ubuntu 9.04
gnome-terminal 2.26.0
human-netbook-theme 0.15
netbook-launcher 1.6.20
ubuntu-netbook-remix 1.139
ubuntu-netbook-remix-defualt 0.5.1

What I expect to happen:
If I have a gnome-terminal open, and I click on the gnome-terminal launcher I expect a 2nd gnome-terminal to launch.

What happens:
I have 1 gnome-terminal open. I click on the gnome-terminal launcher, and focus switches to the already open gnome-terminal. A 2nd gnome-terminal does not appear.

How to reproduce:
Run the netbook remix gui. Have a gnome-terminal launcher in favorites. Have "focus follows mouse" enabled. Click on the gnome-terminal launcher that is in favorites. Click again on the gnome-terminal launcher that is in favorites.

could this be a change introduced by the UNR folks?i don't get such issue with the normal Ubuntu installation.

I can confirm this, however I believe it to have more to do with netbook launcher than gnome-terminal. If I try to launch two gnome-terminals out of the accessories tab, it works fine, but not if it has been launched from the Favorites screen.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Karmic Koala.
