I understand the idea behind it. The only problem I see though, is that there is no consistency between applications. Epiphany and GNOME terminal, to name a couple, do not use focus stealing prevention AFAICT. They *always* get the focus.
Taking Epiphany as an example and using the same steps I described on my first post: 1.- Launch GNOME terminal 2.- Launch Epiphany. 3.- The Epiphany window appears on top of GNOME terminal as expected. 4.- Select the GNOME terminal window. 5.- Launch a new instance of Epiphany 6.- The new Epiphany window gets the focus and appears on top of all other windows, thus not observing Metacity's focus stealing prevention rules. This behaviour is opposite to that of Firefox's. After a quick test, I've determined that focus stealing prevention happens in gedit and firefox, and *not* in epiphany, nautilus and GNOME terminal. Should I open a new "applications in ubuntu do not use focus stealing prevention consistently" bug? -- Firefox windows do not get focus when launched https://launchpad.net/bugs/41623 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
