#848631 is a duplicate. I made a comment in there that may or may not be relevant:

In a terminal, run gedit. Nothing will happen. Then, in a second terminal, run gedit again. Now a window pops up. The interesting thing is the second instance exited immediately. The first instance is still running, but now the following message appears on STDERR:

** (gedit:5671): CRITICAL **: _gedit_app_get_window_in_viewport: assertion `GEDIT_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

I had a similar problem with empathy's chat window not showing up the first time you click Chat (but it does the second time.) Is this perhaps a problem with Unity?
