Unfortunately, most of the comments on this bug report -- including
those by jmspeex, ChrisH, Gok6tm, user2037, Michael, Thomas Folz-
Donahue, Greg K Nicholson, and avdd -- have nothing to do with the bug.
This bug report, like the Gnome bug report it links to, is specifically
about dialogs
If you look at my original comment, you'll see that the reason I
commented here is because someone made my earlier bug report a duplicate
of this bug. So if you're not happy, find that person and tell him/her
to stop doing that.

Octavio:
In this point you are assuming that the user will only launch
applications from an application related to the window manager.
Nope. gnome-panel is neither compiz nor metacity. It doesn't matter
which app does the launching.
Otherwise, there is a need for a function call for a third
Quoth Octavio Alvarez (2010-05-09 15:08):
I think it would be a security risk, as an application might
continuously take away the focus from any application.
No, I think the model Greg is proposing is essentially this: the
current focus is a privilege that at most one window may have. To

In my opinion the behaviour should be this:
1. No window should ever take focus. It should only be possible to throw
focus *to* another (possibly newly-opened) window.
2. When a new window appears, it should appear immediately behind the
focused window (even if the focused window isn't

Dronus just suggested in the duplicate ( #51242 ) that there could be
timed behavior to determine if a new window should have focus, but
that's an intentional race condition. It would be better to see if the
user has done anything since the window was requested... somehow...

I am using compiz and I am having the same problem. I wasn't able to
find an option to change that behavior in ccsm - hints welcome.
The problem also occurs when I launch an application that takes a view
seconds to load, e.g. Firefox. When I am doing something else while
waiting for Firefox to

Not a paper cut because it is too complicated to fix, but this is a huge
usability problem.
Does compiz exhibit the same behavior? It may be a consolation that we
now turn compiz on by default, and more and more computers support it,
so many new users may not be exposed to this behavior.

Newly started applications often appear in front of Gnome-terminal when
trying to type. When using focus-follows-mouse this is a disruptive,
counter-intuitive behavior.

Setting the focus_new_windows key to strict has fixed this problem
for me (at least with update-manager--haven't tried much else as yet).
Has anything been decided on what to do in future? This really is an

Any news on this issue? It gets very annoying (and dangerous),

Load Pidgin, Evolution and other applications at the same time, each of

I just now had a problem with update-manager stealing focus. This
resulted in me answering some question in the update-manager terminal

like crazy when the focus stealing occured).

Which new window steals your focus? Metacity has a focus stealing
prevention mechanism, for example new chat windows will not open in the
front. So I thought that dialogs are the only ones that still cause an
error.
