Comment:

 I suspect that previously we never really iconified the Journal window
 correctly, but with the new GTK+ code maybe we do so now, which triggers a
 behaviour change.

 Adding
 {{{
          window.unminimize(Gtk.get_current_event_time())
 }}}
 in CurrentActivityIcon.__button_release_event_cb solves this but causes
 some visual oddness first.

 The root of the problem here is that we iconify the Journal when it is
 launched. I'm wondering if we have any other options here. We don't
 iconify windows under any other circumstances, as far as I can see.

 Another option would be to look at the wnck code and compare how it
 handles iconify/deiconify.

 I still haven't got my head around the event flow in window-state-event so
 I'm not very confident about the above.
