As opposed to Koresko's experience, when I change the focus_mode to
'strict' I get a change in behaviour. My metacity version is 2.30.1 on
Ubuntu 10.04.

I just found this one, I also blamed this on gnome-panel: Bug 572690
When launching by gnome-panel oder menu, it is solvable: The launched
application's window should get focus only if gnome-panel still has.

This bug still occurs. I'm on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic, and I'm suffering it. It's
really annoying. More than one time I have accepted dialogs which I couldn't
read because I pressed ENTER after writing text in

This shouldn't be marked as a duplicate of 67476: that bug is about the

This message indicates that the focus behavior for new windows should be
controlled by the setting of a gconf key called

According to the above, if one issues the command
Having a key in gconf is nice, but it doesn't change the fact that
automatically giving focus to a new window (by default!) constitutes not
only a security issue (typing a passwd in the wrong window), but a
potential for data loss (typing rm -rf * in the wrong terminal). Maybe
I should file it
Agreed. I personally have typed part of my password into the wrong
application window when it popped up and stole focus. Didn't end up
accidentally sending the password to someone else, fortunately, but in
principle it could have happened.
Personally I like the idea of making this a
Not sure what's going on with metacity/gconf, but I tried:
gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/focus_new_windows --type string strict
and though the setting was changed (checked with gconf-editor), there's no
change in metacity's behaviour.

it changes that the logic depends of the way apps are started. The
questions are here to make easier to figure why it's broken for you and
not other people. Replying to the question usually make easier for
people to fix your issue, just saying it doesn't work right is often
of no use for that

Bug #43760 was more about the fact that evolution shouldn't make
warnings pop all the time. I think this bug is more fundamental in the
sense that even if popping up a window is justified, it is *never* (I
still haven't found a counter-example) justified to make the new window
steal focus. It's a
This can be rather annoying, and can constitute a security risk if the
window is appropriately timed. Bug #43760 is similar, but only covers
Evolution's dialogs.
