[opensuse-factory] Window focusing in GNOME
Hi! I noticed this while using YaST to set up my printer on 11.3-RC1 today, but it seems to be there in 11.2 too. No matter if I minimise the window any number of times, it would restore itself and become the focused window every time it wanted to alert me about something or every time it completed doing something. For example, have YaST pkg manager install something, and minimise it. When the installation is done and pkg manager switches to running SuSEconfig, it jumps back to focus. Really irritating if one is working on something and this keeps happening. I am not sure this is only with YaST apps though I do not see something like this happening in KDE. The metacity settings in gconf-editor are set thus: focus_mode:click, and auto_focus:off. Is there something that can be done to fix this. This is really a bug, and so I can report it to bugzilla if so required.

Sounds like a weird behavior in YaST. If the window is minimized, YaST should not unminimize it, but just demand attention (with the urgency hint, for example). I just tried to reproduce: it does unminimize, but it doesn't steal the focus for me if I'm typing something. So I wouldn't think it's an issue in metacity. Apparently, it's an issue with the GTK+ frontend of yast since it doesn't happen with the Qt one (even in GNOME). Can you file a bug against yast-gtk?
