3. open terminal and type 'sleep 5; eog'
4. double click on the image viewer icon in the launcher

What should happen:

=====original report=====
It is quite hard to explain this issue for a general case. So I'll try to exam the scenario where I faced this issue. I had 2 evince document reader windows open. Then I opened a new pdf file using firefox and asked firefox to open the file using the document reader. As the file was being downloaded, I clicked on the document viewer icon which displayed the two open documents side-by-side with a dull background. When the 3rd file was downloaded, though document viewer opened the file, it was not displayed along with these two. I had to click on the evince icon once again to go to the normal and then I clicked on the same icon to see all 3 windows side-by-side. I think this should not be the case. As and when the 3rd file finished downloading, it should be displayed along with the other documents.

I am not sure if I have made myself clear. Let me know if I can do something to make my point more clear.
