Bug Description
If the "Power Settings…" dialogue is already open, but in the background and covered by other windows, it is not raised when the user re-chooses it from the drop down menu. To reproduce:
1. Indicator-power -> Power Settings…
2. Open a maximised window (eg. Firefox) over this.
3. Indicator-power -> Power Settings…
What happens:
4. Nothing
What should happen:
4. The dialogue-box should be raised to the front of the window stack and receive focus just as it would when selected the first time.
This applies to:
Power -> Power Settings…
Sound -> Sound Settings…
Date Time -> Date & Time Settings…
User -> Online Accounts…
User -> User Accounts…
Session -> System Settings…
Session -> Displays…

I get a notification that proves that the shell is aware of the window being presented.
I think this is a unity design decission: the window manager controls it, you can ask for your window to be presented and the shell decides to react by showing a notification instead of stealing the focus.
