Bug Description

If you have a screenlet or another widget on the desktop, it will receive the focus after minimizing or closing all the other windows. So the Unity panel will show the widget's window title, for example: "ClearWeatherScreenlet.py".

Steps to reproduce:
1. Put any screenlet on the desktop.
2. You may configure it as "widget" and "keep below" (right-clicking on it, "Window" menu).
3. Open another window (ex.: Nautilus). Make sure that it receive the focus.
4. Minimize it or close it. Now you'll see the screenlet title on the Unity panel.

I think the expected behavior is that windows marked as "widget" does not receive focus unless the user explicitly requests it.

Using Ubuntu 11.10. Screenshot attached.

Hello,
as part of the bug clean up ahead of 16.04 LTS I'm marking this as invalid because it affects an Ubuntu release which is now unsupported. If you can still recreate this bug in a supported release please do open a new bug and we can triage it for consideration in the 16.04 LTS development cycle.

Regards
NickTh
