Description: Claws Mail always starts minimized when run in Gnome Shell


Additional info:
* package version(s) 3.7.10-1
* config and/or log files etc. N/A


Steps to reproduce: 1) Start Claws Mail from Gnome Shell launcher or terminal.
2) Note application is running but not visible on desktop.

This can be fixed by applying a patch like this one: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/fileinfo?rpmID=2572224&filename=claws-gnome-shell-dont-start-minimized.patch

Upstream apparently considers this to be a Gnome Shell problem so won't fix. But at least for me Claws Mail is the only app that suffers from this annoying problem. Anyway, the patch works fine for me with no adverse effects noted.
This task depends upon

Whoops...I forgot to put the problem description in the bug summary. Would someone add that for me?
