I am used to open a folder from the keyboard with a shortcut. The alternatives are:

• Use Unity Dash with the shortcut SUPER + F to open the Dash File Lens


• Open Kupfer with the configured shortcut (CTRL + ALT + SPACE, in my case)

Then I type the name of the folder and press ENTER if it is selected.

However, the window that opens up is not active but in the background. I have to press ALT + TAB to bring it into foreground.

I use Ubuntu Precise (12.04.).

Question: How can I configure Ubuntu, Unity, Nautilus so newly opened windows become foreground immediately?

Edit: This behavior only happens when another application is already open such as GEdit. It does not happen when the only other selectable entity is the Desktop.
