- Use Gnome.
- set SMplayer to use only one instance (Options -> Preferences -> Interface -> Instances)
- open a media file by double-clicking in Nautilus. SMPlayer will have focus and be in front
- when opening a second media file with SMPlayer already open by (double-)clicking: Metacity: SMPlayer will gain focus, but be behind the current Nautilus window. Compiz: Nautilus will keep focus, but SMPlayer will move front of the Nautilus window.
- when opening a second media file with SMPlayer already open by using keyboard arrows + Enter in Nautilus: Metacity: SMPlayer will gain focus, but remain behind the current Nautilus window. Compiz: SMPlayer will gain focus and move in front (correct behaviour).
I can confirm this with an up-to-date 8.04.
