Hi all
The zenity man page says that zenity tries to find the terminal window
it was launched from, and stays on top of that. You can disable it by
unsetting the WINDOWID variable.
I tried and this works fine for me:

My version of zenity is also 2.30.0, i mistyped it before, cause i was
testing it on 9.10 too.
Lately i realised that this behavior is a matter of the window manager.

Gnome when i have other window active. It does, when running

It's likely a problem with your window manager or its focus-stealing
prevention level. Running what you provided opens a Zenity dialog above
the current terminal (and it even appears to stay on top of the terminal
as a modal dialog).

zenity (2.26.0-0ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low
* debian/patches/zenity-2.26.0-focus.patch: Fixes focus issues when zenity
opens. Thanks Jeffrey Silverman. (LP: #272083)
* debian/rules: Enable simple patch system.
This patch seems to be rather large for the change in question, I wonder
if each of the changes is necessary or if this change is overreaching?
The upstream bug linked here points out that having the pop-ups steal
the focus, which I believe is the result of this change, will /also/
make people
I don't agree.
Let's not forget that Zenity is used to display GTK+ dialogs in shell scripts.
If I execute a shell script with zenity pop-ups, they ALWAYS appear under any
other window. This is the right thing?

If you look at zenity.glade more closely, it defines each possible top level
widget on its own (eg Calendar, Question, Info dialog etc). So this bug
affects all widget types, and they need to be individually fixed.
The existing behavior (in intrepid and earlier releases) was that zenity

Thanks for the patch! This has been bugging me for a while.
I agree that the default behavior should be to grab the focus and demand
attention. If I was a C programmer, I'd fix it myself.

I modified the source to provide a --focus argument.
I couldn't get it to focus when using the --scale dialog for some

The top reason to use zenity is to get a pop-up box on top of everything.
Behind all the other open applications negates all of its use for me.
Many many thanks for the patch and many thanks for helping out another rusty
hacker for the line to apply it.
Patch works well.

Im not sure why zenity shouldn't steal focus, because imho most of the
times that's the whole purpose of using zenity.
Waiting for feedback from a script for a whole minute and then realising
there's a hidden dialog waiting for input is NOT a good thing...

I can confirm that the gnome bug (448946) represents the state of things
as of Hardy/8.04 (zenity 2.22.1-1), but that zenity in intrepid (zenity

be an even worse over-correction.
