Bug Description
I already saw this behaviour during the dapper development phase, but it somehow got fixed with some updates. Now, some days before the dapper release, I've noticed it again.
Basically, after having open a document, opening a new one will cause gedit to remain in the background, whereas it would be expected that gedit gets the focus and is brought to the foreground.
Steps to reproduce:
1.- Open a Nautilus window.
2.- In this window, browse a folder that contains text documents.
3.- Click on a text document. The document will be opened in gedit, which will appear on the foreground.
4.- Go back to the Nautilus window and click on a second document. The document will be open in gedit, but this time in will remain in the background, while the window list bar is flashing.
Expected: gedit opens the second document and gets focus (i.e. it appears in the foreground).

Using the most current version of Dapper this behavior does not exist. If it happens again reopen this bug, but I tested it for a good 20 minutes with different file types, directorys, and combinations of left clicking and right clicking.
