Firefox does not take focus when clicking on a link from another program

[Fabio Marconi]

Binary package hint: firefox

Hello
Steps to reproduce in Natty running Unity:
-open Firefox maximized
-open Evolution maximized
-click on a link.
Results:
-The linked page is loaded in Firefox, but it remain under Evolution, to see it we have to minimize Evolution.
-If instead firefox is minimized, then it rightly appear over Evolution.
Expected:
-When i click on a mail link the browser is showed.
Thanks
Fabio

This is by design (and the way metacity works as well) but I'll leave it open as wishlist for now because a lot of people seem to want to this change somehow.
