This may (or may not) be handled as an exception to the "don't steal focus" rule. Even then, it would be wrong when the user selects "focus follows mouse". It's called "focus follows mouse", not "focus follows mouse, except what a window feels like it should get focus". But at this point, nautilus is actually the only app that (in some circumstances) doesn't steal focus. Still, I see no reason justifying that a window opening unpredictably (e.g. error message, web popup, IM popup) automatically gains focus. > The consistency issue is a a bug but that's a different topic of the one > discussion initially here so please use a new bug for it so the discussion > can be kept on track The consisteny issue is about having consistent *security* behaviour.
