When I click the Reload button in update-manager, the "Downloading package information" progress dialog takes a few seconds to start, with the main window's widgets disabled. In this case, I switch to another application, and the download progress steals the window focus. If I switch again to another window, the "building dependency tree" progress dialog steals focus again. |

This is a bug in the metacity window manager. |

I've reassigned this to metacity in Ubuntu, since that's getting the blame for this bug. |

This problem still exists in Hardy. Because of it, a kernel update got hosed up.
I fired off update-manager and switched to working on something else. While I was typing, a window popped up asking whether I wanted to change /boot/grub/menu.lst. The timing was such that I hit the spacebar just when the window popped up, so the window instantly disappeared, the updated kernel was installed, but the grub menu doesn't have an item for the new kernel. Without intervention on my part, this machine would end up keeping the old kernel until the next time the kernel was updated.
Fortunately, I know what happened and I know how to update the grub menu. However, my customers don't know about what's happening under the hood, and they shouldn't have to.
I'm astounded at how long this has been a problem. As mentioned by others, this should be a trivial fix. WTF?

This bug needs to be raised in importance and fixed. It hoses up systems, is easy to correct, and has been languishing for two years. |

Daniel, unless you know of someone else to fix this, the maintainer of the package is the right person. In this case, the maintainer is ubuntu-core-dev.
Sebastien. Two solutions:
1. Remove every reference to grab_focus from:
./UpdateManager/Common/SimpleGladeApp.py, (I show lines 239 through 245) and
./UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py (I show lines 347 and 348)
See http://library.gnome.org/devel/pygtk/2.10/class-gtkwidget.html#method-gtkwidget--grab-focus
2. If that seems too draconian, in
./DistUpgrade/DistUpgrade.glade
set:
<property name="focus_on_map">False</property>
See http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gdkwindow.html#method-gdkwindow--set-focus-on-map
