Public bug reported:
If I have a conversation window open in Empathy, it is not possible to get the
contact list back in focus - even if I move the contact list to another
workspace. If I try to use Alt-Tab instead of the mouse, the contact list does
not even show up as a selection choice.
I can however click on the contact list to open another conversation or change
my status.
This wouldn't be a big deal except that I'm running 11.04 with Unity. And of
course, in Unity, it is not possible to access the menus for a program unless a
window is in focus, thanks to the global menu. This means that it is
impossible to change a setting in Empathy without closing an open conversation
- the conversation window does have an entry for Edit->Preferences; only the
Contact List has this.
