Ladies and gentlemen, instead of adding an argument, --focus, to cause
the Zenity dialog to steal the focus, I believe that stealing the
focus should be the default behavior.  Instead, please add an optional
argument, only for use when there is a need to prevent the Zenity
dialog from stealing the focus.  This will prevent all who have come
to depend on a Zenity dialog appearing on top of all other windows
from having to rewrite all of their scripts.  It seems that the vast
majority of users want Zenity dialogs to appear on top of all other
windows by default.  The need for an extra argument should only apply
to the minority of users--those who don't want the Zenity dialog to
steal the focus.  Perhaps this argument should be --subdue.

Thank you to everyone who is working on this, for my hat is off to you.
