There is something different on Fedora 21 on its behavior. I have a 
keyboard shortcut that map one of the useless ThinkPad keys 
(ThinkVantage) to launch Nautilus. On Fedora 20 it opened perfectly on 
top of all applications, on Fedora 21 it always appear under and the 
focus stealing prevention notification is triggered, so I think it is 
being more strict than on Fedora 20.
