Comment 10 for bug 1646437

Note: when opening terminator from another terminal emulator (e.g. gnome-terminal or konsole), it's still inconsistent to me whether the new terminator window gets focused, or the focus is kept at the one (gnome-terminal or konsole) which I'm using.

I'm not sure what it depends on, but I don't think it's terminator's business or fault. This seems to be a generic Gtk+ or window manager stuff. Even if I'm launching a different kind of app, e.g. firefox, if I'm just typing into gnome-terminal then firefox is presented at the back. I guess it's some generic protection (including some inconsistency in its implementation) that tries to prevent keypresses from unexpectedly going to a newly appearing app.

The code modifications outlined above seem to fix the problem for me if I'm executing terminator from within terminator to get a new window. I haven't tried hooking it up to some global shortcut or similar.
