moin moin,
I had heard this was finally fixed in GNOME and should've gone away 6
months ago[0].
GNOME is still allowing applications to steal focus in my Ubuntu Hardy
8.04 install. I guess it's technically Metacity that's allowing the focus
stealing, but it's all GNOME to me. Apparently Compiz has the same issue.
Just found something in gconf-editor[1]. / -> apps -> metacity -> general
-> focus_new_windows. Apparently they haven't looked at the definition of
smart.
###
This option provides additional control over how newly created windows get
focus. It has two possible values; "smart" applies the user's normal focus
mode, and "strict" results in windows started from a terminal not being
given focus.
###
Hopefully strict finally fixes the problem.
Hmm, apparently not. Does X have to be restarted for gconf changes to take
effect?
[0] Focus stealing should've not been an issue in the first place.
[1] We shouldn't have to go to gconf-editor to turn on an important
security feature.
ciao,
der.hans
