No, I think the model Greg is proposing is essentially this: the
current focus is a privilege that at most one window may have. To
have it, it must be explicitly granted by something else, such as
the panel launcher.
Having this "non-stealing" and "focus stealing prevention" stuff
is doing it backwards.
I do wish these things would be thrashed out at freedesktop.org or
similar to get some standards around user interface expectations
and behaviour. It's about time we got some real user interface
standards instead of all this making stuff up and/or blindly
following the leader/competition.
