Comment 4 for bug 1011884

@Marco: How would you explain to a user, that a perfectly visible window is a "not user-visible flagged window"?

And of lower priority copy operations are mostly not. Have you never been already late and need to copy a big vmware image, a bunch of fotos etc?

In many, many cases copy operations are holding me (or other people) back from leaving and so it is high priority to see the status.

The indicator in the launcher is nice, but doesn't tell me about estimated remaining time and files which is often important just to know if I should go for a coffee, continue on another work or just wait the last 20 seconds to have it finished.

In any case for a user it is inconsistent because the normal user does not know your design logic. To have the user feel comfortable, effects must be foreseeable which means: Simple rules. Switch to last active window should therefore include the copy dialog.
