when something wants my attention, it bounces its own icon.

Jack-Russell Terrier behavior of some applications' Dock icons aside, Apple really got it right with document-modal dialogs (which present as sheets that pop out of the specific window's title bar). There are still system-modal dialogs, but very few that actually pop into my mind as distractingly annoying.

There are still third-party software developers, however, that insist on using system-modal dialogs. Those don't last very long on my system.
