Not correct. Update-manager grabs focus inappropriately, and it needs
to be fixed.

Update-manager steals focus whenever it creates a window. The fix is
to change the focus_on_map setting to "false", as I have described.

In some circumstances, update-manager sends requests to gkdebconf and
other debconf frontends, which ALSO steal focus. I've described the
fix in a prior post. Gkdebconf and the debconf frontends are written
in different languages, so the syntax is different, but they share the
same solution: Tell those programs not to grab focus when it creates
the window.

To my knowledge, separate bugs have not been created for gkdebconf and
debconf to fix their problems, but I leave that to the "developers
responsible" that (according to some) are "already aware".  I don't
want to be "uncool," even if I am just a hapless gringo in a Texas
border town.  ;-)

Happy Trails,
