View Full Version : [ubuntu] Singleton Applications should switch to window when started twice

I have noticed this, when I am running singleton applications like thunderbird, if I start the application again, it appears that the OS tries to restart the app, finds that the application is running and mutely ignores the command(after taking quite some time).
It would be really nice, in such scenario that the OS actually switches focus or brings forth the window of the application that it is running.
What would be really cool is to have this behavior also integrated in gnome-do. (gnome-do could probably have option of opening new window or switching to the last opened window of the application, anyway).
May be there is already a way to do this, but I cant find anything about this.
