Bug#795201: gnome-shell: Window on another workspace steals focus from current window

[Branislav Zahradnik]

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.16.3-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

setup:
- gnome-shell with 10 static workspaces and sloppy focus
- terminal running on workspace #1
- emacs 24 running on workspace #2

problem:
executing "emacsclient -n file" in terminal opens file in emacs but terminal
looses focus

expected behavior:
focus should remain on current window

Best regards,
Brano
