WeatherGod: here's what is happening for me with Compiz activated:
 - I click on Firefox icon to launch it.
 - While Firefox is loading, I click on a terminal and start typing text.
 - Now, the Firefox window finally appears in front of the terminal, but the 
focus is still on the terminal. That means that I can continue typing text into 
the terminal, but the Firefox window is hiding the terminal window.

Using plain metacity, the behaviour is even worse: when the Firefox
window appears, it steals focus from the terminal, which means that it
appears in front of the terminal AND new key strokes appear in the
Firefox window.

I think that Compiz behaviour is almost perfect. The only problem is
that the newly opened Firefox window should appear behind the terminal
window, and the Firefox entry in the window list should be blinking to
indicate that it's now ready to use.

As for your second question, if I open an EOG window from Nautilus, I
expect the EOG window to get focus except if I interact with the
Nautilus window before the EOG window appears.
