EOG window doen't raise when opening an image that's already open

[Eric Gregory]

1. Open a folder in Nautilus with images in it
2. Double click an image to open it in EOG
3. Put another window on top of the EOG window
4. In Nautilus, double-click the same image file

Note that EOG did not raise.

This is contrast to most (all?) apps in Ubuntu -- for example, if you try the corresponding steps in Firefox or Gedit, both will raise the corresponding window.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

This bug is still in 14.04. There is no progress in Ubuntu it seems. Same bugs for years...
