Well, also Transmission loses focus when it's running and I'm adding a torrent.
The files window opens briefly, then loses focus and I can start looking for
the window to click OK.
Seems to be a larger problem with metacity.

policykit-gnome presently uses stale timestamps to focus the password
dialog--it should use a timestamp that is as fresh as the user input
that triggered its focus.
Maybe metacity should be more forgiving with buggy application-provided
timestamps, but this report is about policykit-gnome. If
I see that issue with nautilus too, but I believe that is a separate
bug, although it may be similar in source.

I'm also experiencing this issue e.g. with opening Synaptic. Thanks for opening
this topic.
The password dailog box almost always loses focus immediately.
Don't know if it's the same issue, but when opening Nautilus, the new
Nautilus window sits only in the background on my window list panel. It
I've submitted the bug upstream with a possible patch to fix it. I believe
that this bug is related to metacity's focus-stealing prevention and use of
stale X11 timestamps to activate windows. Please see the upstream bug for more

Sorry, I spoke too soon. Not fixed yet. I opened GParted, the
authentication dialog box was in front a terminal that was already open,
and I had to click on the dialog box top bar to get focus.

been fixed.
