Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
If an application is launched via a gnome panel launcher or the gnome main menu, its main window gains focus if opened, even if the panel lost the focus meanwhile.
For example...
What I do: Editing on gedit, click on a Firefox launcher, then continue to edit.
What happens: When Firefox finally opens, it appears in front and steals the focus from gedit.
What should happen: Firefox window should open behind gedit silently.
This also has light security implications, someone could enter login data to firefox addressfield and thus google for example. I've already accidentally sent passwords to chat comrades this way.
