Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
This is the context in which I am seeing this bug:
* I have an app open and maximized (as such it's windows controls have been subsumed into the panel) (e.g. Firefox).
* I open another app that is open but not maximized (e.g. the Terminal).
* If I have the Terminal open and behind it I see the maximized Firefox, if I want to access Firefox I naturally go and click on the window border (which is now the panel) expecting it to highlight Firefox and bring it to the foreground, but nothing happens.

I see how it's natural to want to do this. The one gotcha for me is that
the panel is also hosting the menu of the app which is in the
foreground. So it's arguably as much part of that app, as the top
maximised one.
I *think* we can implement what you want and have that "just work". It
may be just fine that way, or it may need to be re-thought after some
testing.
So let's call this a design +1 with room to reconsider in Natty+1.
