I'd say that applies to "unsolicited" windows, that open even if I did not request them. An example is the Gaim conversation window, which opens when somebody sends you a message. If I'm typing into another window and it steals my focus, I'll be disrupted and irritated. Windows that I request to be opened, e.g. by starting an application or selecting a menu entry (that leads to a dialog box) in an open application, should IMO get the focus. I'm not sure how the window manager can identify these "unsolicited" windows though. Regards Ingemar
