Description of problem:
When I open a new tab (via right click on a terminal, clicking on something in
liferea, whatever), firefox immediately jumps onto the current workspace.
This is irritating.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox-2.0.0.6-11.fc8
Additional info:
Seems related to the startup notification patch, as it worked ok in
2.0.0.6-8.fc8.

Owen says this is a metacity bug. The following program also hops
windows.
#!/bin/env python
import gtk
import gobject
w = gtk.Window()
w.set_title("Foo")
w.show()
def on_timeout():
w.present()
return False
gobject.timeout_add(5000, on_timeout)
gtk.main()

To give some background on this issue, Firefox now supports startup
notification:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=223492
The issue in this bug only occurs when there are multiple workspaces.
Removing this Firefox patch would be a regression in the single workspace case
because it would require clicking on a flashing browser entry in the task list
after activating an external link.

walters: metacity could look at the window role and alter the behavior

FWIW, commenting out the call to gdk_window_focus() in the patch makes it DTRT
for me.

Actually, what I meant was that based on the "type" of the window application
vs. dialog, you could do different things.
A application never, under any circumstances, should be moved between
desktops.

Bill, what effect does that have in the single-workspace case?

Also, I've filed this bug upstream here:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482354
Since there seems to be agreement this is an upstream Metacity issue, please
continue discussion there.

Colin: when it's on the same workspace, I get the throbbing entry in the panel.
When it's on the other workspace, I don't.
