I do have this problem, too. Ubuntu 10.04, Compiz 0.8.4. This problem is mentioned in several other bug reports about more specific cases (usually the Update Manager), see below.
But it's a general problem. Mind the security impact! Synaptic steals focus when minimized or when behind other windows https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/54300 Configuration Dialogs should not steal focus during updates https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/373974 'Downloading package information' and 'building dependency tree' progress dialogs request focus too often https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/35876 Dialogs of background applications pop up in the foreground https://bugs.launchpad.net/metacity/+bug/67476 Child Windows [of Synaptic/update manager] should remain in the same desktop as the parent window https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/391479 -- New windows steal focus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/455241 You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
