[check] Inconsistant behavior for app.focus and swtchApp depending on method of running script

[Osiris2258]

There seems to be inconsistent behavior if you run the script from different places in windows 7 64 (SP1 Home Premium). Running Sikuli 1.0.1.

if I run a script containing:
check = switchApp('wammp - TightVNC Viewer')

or

VNC = App('wammp - TightVNC Viewer')
VNC.focus()

from the sikuli IDE or the windows command prompt, it brings the window to the front.

If, however, using python 2.7.5, I run the command in a script from inside a python program , or from idle or other python command lines using the subprocess module, I get different behavior.

python call:

process = subprocess.Popen(['C:\\Users\\USER\\Desktop\\sikuli\\runScript.cmd', '-r', 'C:\\Users\\USER\\Desktop\\sikuli\\scripts\\run_PCS', '--args', name, waittime],shell=True,stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stderr=subprocess.PIPE)

In this case, the exact same sikuli script that worked when run with the IDE or directly from CMD will instead fail to bring the window forward. The window icon on the taskbar will begin flashing, but it will not actually bring the window forward.
