Subject: gnome-terminal: is unreachable via Alt+Tab in Gnome Wayland session

Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2017 11:18:39 +0700

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.22.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

when starting gnome-terminal in a Gnome Wayland session, its menu bar
is all grayed out (like in unfocused windows) although the window has
the focus (and the menu works).  While the window is focused, the top
bar of the Gnome shell shows a spinning wheel next to its name, as if
the Gnome Shell was still waiting for Gnome Terminal to be started.

All of this is cosmetic, but What is worse: gnome terminal does not
appear in the alt-tab list and therefore cannot be switched to using
alt+tab.
