Especially a problem with yast (either with -qt or -gtk), Metacity should not
steal focus when another program pops up a dialog.
Related: #330060 and #326158
Marked major as the user can mistakenly do a damaging operation -- e.g. if he
is pressing Enter when this new dialog pops, its confirm or abort button would
get pressed.

KDE (i.e. kwin) solution is to have a time span from when the user
types/clicks, when it won't let a popup steal focus. Metacity seems to prevent
a popup while the user is typing/clicking, but doesn't seem to have a time span
(or its way too short).
