           Summary: Yast "Package Selector" application opens an insane
                    number of focus stealing dialogs
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: Final
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: YaST2
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

When I select "Install Software" from the Computer menu, the Yast "Package
Selector" application displays at least 20 different dialog windows while the
application updates its list of available packages.  Each of these dialogs
steals the keyboard focus which makes it impossible for me to be productive.  

I recommend two solutions:

1.  Do not open more than one dialog, just use a single dialog 
    for displaying the status messages 
2.  Do not allow a dialog to steal the keyboard focus 
    (for example, use the freedesktop.org startup-notifcation API)

Thanks.
