Contact window does not get focus when re-opened from me-menu in full-screen

[Roman Yepishev]

STR:

1. Open Empathy contacts to full screen
2. Close empathy contacts window
3. Focus another application.
4. Select "Chat" in me-menu
5. Full screen empathy window opens
6. Click the global menu bar entry.

Actual results:
Empathy does not gain focus. The globall menu still displays _background_ window options and launcher shows that background window is focused.

Expected result:
Empathy opens in full screen and gets the focus.

This may result in data loss e.g. when the person does not double check the application being focused on in globalmenu/launcher and closes the background application accidentally.

This may be a bug in unity handling fullscreen windows, subscribing unity too.

its not a empathy problem its a unity bug i guess so.

I can't reproduce this following the same steps on Unity 5.8. Can you check if this is still an issue?
