Bug Description

Hi, I'm on Vivid 15.04 beta 2.

Many apps in the Unity system tray have an option to open the main app from the tray icon. (For example Skype, Transmission, the indicator-multiload system monitor, messaging apps from the messaging indicator, and others.) The problem is that the app window usually does not have focus, and frequently opens behind the maximized window that is currently in view. So it requires going to the panel, "Restore <app name>", and then clicking on the app in the dock to make the window come to the top. I think it should automatically come to the top and receive focus when using a "Restore" option from a system tray option.

Thanks!
