Bug Description
Binary package hint: emacs22
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.2
Release: 8.04
emacs22:
Installed: 22.1-0ubuntu10.1
Candidate: 22.1-0ubuntu10.1
When I insert a USB flash drive and it is automounted, nautilus (I suppose) automatically opens a window to browse its contents. If there are other windows active on my desktop, this new window will generally appear underneath them. A tab will apear in the gnome taskbar corresponding to it which is slightly orange or brown and remain that way until I switch to that window with alt-tab or by clicking on the tab.
If I have two emacs windows (created by running emacs and then creating a second window with C-x 5 2) when I insert the flash drive, then I lose the ability to use alt-tab to switch between those windows as long as the browser window is orange. This doesn't seem to affect most (or any, that I've noticed) programs aside from emacs22, so I'm associating this bug with the emacs22 package (I don't know that the bug is actually in emacs22, though).
