Overview
===========

I am using Xubuntu 14.10, the xfdesktop4 package shows version 4.11.8.

Here is the bug at launchpad for the xfdesktop4 package - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/1396716

Steps To Reproduce
======================
Enable Settings Manager -> Window Manager -> Focus -> "Automatically give gocus to newly created windows"

Create desktop launcher for Firefox Web Browser (/home/user/Desktop/firefox.desktop).

Launch Firefox from created desktop launcher.

Actual Results
=================

Newly created window does not receive focus automatically.

Expected Results
====================

Newly created Firefox window should have focus.

Additional Information
=========================

This does not happen with all applications.  I keep a limited number of icons on my desktop so have only noticed this with Firefox and Thunderbird.

A work around seems to be disabling "Use startup notification" on the launcher.  Once disabled on the Firefox Web Browser and Thunderbird launchers, they receive focus when launched as expected.

There are other applications with "Use startup notification" enabled, that receive focus when launched as expected.
