Bug Description

This is likely a matter of personal preference, and as such, I'll understand if it is lent little to no importance.

When I play a song in Rhythmbox using a launcher such as Synapse or Kupfer, the song simply starts playing immediately, without Rhythmbox having to be given focus. This is also the case with songs played from Nautilus. However, when I play a song from the Docky Rhythmbox jumplist, this is not the case.
When I play a song from Docky and Rhythmbox is maximized, Rhythmbox immediately receives focus, whatever workspace it's on. If I've closed Rhythmbox to the sound menu, using Docky to play a song causes Rhythmbox to open itself up on whatever workspace it is currently on, without drawing focus.
Preferably, I'd like to simply play a song, and have Rhythmbox just start playing the song, and not maximize itself, and certainly not draw focus. Thus, it would imitate the way it reacts to a launcher playing a song.
Thanks so much guys! I love Docky!

I'm using Docky 2.1.0, Ubuntu 10.10.

Sorry for the lack of clarity.

I have enabled the Zeitgeist Interface helper, which, when I roll over the Rhythmbox icon, provides me with a list of recently and most played songs. When I play one of these songs, the Rhythmbox window automatically receives focus.
