That's a Good Thing (tm). I knew what I was doing and what the effects
would be.

The process must be broken, because this bug is two years old and
hasn't been assigned. The bug severity hasn't even been set (which,
IMHO, should be HIGH).

BTW, the problem isn't metacity. The problem is that update-manager
should not ask for focus in the first place. This is a problem that
has been solved over and over again in other applications.

That so? Hmmmm. . . . .So which of said "developers responsible" have
any idea how to turn off focus-stealing?

If assigning the bug to ubuntu-core-dev is a Bad Thing (tm), perhaps
there should be a way to flag ubuntu-core-dev as a Wrong Person (tm)
and tell ubuntu_update-manager.assignee that the Wrong Person (tm)
cannot be a ValidAssignee.
