Package: smart-notifier
Version: 0.28-1
Severity: important
If the smart-notifier notification window pops up, it steals keyboard focus,
making it easy to close by mistake (losing the message). It would
probably be better for smart-notifier to have no GUI of its own and just
use a freedesktop.org notification daemon implementation (i.e. the same thing
used by libnotify).

I don't think this is a good idea. Notifications are meant for notification of
transient information that can be missed safely (e.g. when using notify-osd).
smart-notifier on the other hand, communicates important information you
probably don't want to miss, and has a rather bulky message payload to show.
As for the smart-notifier notification window popping up, I've checked the code
and it doesn't look like smart-notifier is doing anything special when starting
up. It just does some_window.show() rather than some_window.present(), so this
bug should really either be with Gtk+ or with your window manager's focus
prevention handling.
