Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

  I think that `apropos' should set the focus to its output buffer
 after running - as this is almost always what is desired anyway.

  1. emacs -q --no-init-file

  2. M-x apropos

  3  Enter "apropos"

  4  The window splits, showing "*scratch*" in the top half, and the
     output from the apropos command in the bottom half.

  The first thing that you typically have to do to look at the
 documentation is to switch buffers (C-x o) - so it seems sensible
 to make apropos set the focus to its output window.

  The patch below is one way of doing this:
