Using "exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator", xfce4-terminal does not get focus

RESOLVED: FIXED

For exo version 0.10.4-1 in Fedora 22:
If I open xfce4-terminal using "exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator" (and no instances of xfce4-terminal are already open), the newly-created window does not receive focus.

One way to reproduce:
1. Hit Alt+F2 to Run Application
2. Enter "exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator"
3. New terminal window will not have focus

My current workaround is to change my keyboard shortcuts to "xfce4-terminal" rather than using exo-open.

Maybe related to patch introduced by #9570 (see comment 17)

I can't reproduce right now though (with exo 0.13.x).

This bug was resolved with the migration to the g_spawn_* API (exo-0.11.1).
