That is an excellent idea. I like that one when they introduce it in FC4.

An example is the Gaim conversation window, which opens whensomebody sends you a message. If I'm typing into another window and itsteals 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 (thatleads 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.I actually like the new behaviour. When working on a slower machine, it can take a long time for windows of a big application to appear. In the meantime, I like to get on with other things and I don't like having the focus stolen from me when the big app eventually turns up.Paul.
But the good thing is that, with my latest update every thing is now back to the FC4 behavior.
Some one was talking about, it is now possible to configure it which behavior you want, but I don't know where you can configure it.
