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.
