I think this is just the opposite of the problem I finally solved for myself on Debian / KDE 3.5 with kmail and konqueror. I think what you want to do is try experimenting by setting Focus Stealing Prevention for geany to Low (assuming it is currently set to a default setting of normal) (or lower than its current setting, if it is set to low already). I recently did just the opposite for konqueror--I raised it from Normal to High so that konqueror would not come to the foreground when I clicked on a new link in kmail. Rather than try to repeat the instructions here, go take a look at http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/SetFocusStealingPreventionPerWindowKDE3dot5 What you want to do is do what I did for konqueror for geany, only set it to a lower setting. Hmm, that's a long URL--I should probably change the page name to make a shorter URL--it might get split in this email. Let me know how you make out, and if you can add or fix something on that page feel free--it's a wiki, after all.
