For the record:
<pitti> seb128: is the window focusing something that I can actually influence
in apport-gtk itself? or is that a window manager thing?
<seb128> pitti: the window manager uses the timestamp of the event to decide
what to do with the window
<seb128> since the dialog is not spawned by an user action I'm not sure on how
it works
<pitti> seb128: isn't that precisely the focus stealing use case?
<pitti> seb128: e. g. the same with gaim windows
<seb128> right
<seb128> how do you run apport?
<pitti> seb128: apport-gtk is spawned by update-notifier when there's a new
report
<seb128> so that's an update-notifier issue probably
<seb128> it has to set the right timestamp for the app it's spawing
<seb128> pitti: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170848
<seb128> sort of the same issue
<Ubugtu> Gnome bug 170848 in general "CD player viciously steals focus"
[Normal,Unconfirmed]
<seb128> cf comment #1 from the metacity upstream
<pitti> seb128: ah, thank you!
* pitti hugs the great Seb
<seb128> pitti: np
* seb128 hugs pitti back
<pitti> mvo: so, can I blame you for that? :)
<mvo> seb128, pitti: if it was that easy :/ startup notification (and the whole
timestamp buisiness) needs to be done by hand with the current gnome. I just
use g_spawn_commadline() to open apport. but even the various gnome_open etc
commands don't support statup notification. it needs to be done (painfully) by
hand
<pitti> mvo: can I do that in apport-gtk itself?
<mvo> no
<mvo> sorry
<pitti> hm, then I think I'm just going to ignore that bug for edgy
