It sounds like the lack of proper startup notification handling will also
interact weirdly with the focus stealing prevention support in Gnome 2.10 --
with the following sequence of events, the new mozilla window won't get focus:
 1. start firefox
 2. open gnome-terminal, and dingus-click on an http:// URL to open it in firefox
 3. new firefox window gets opened, but doesn't get focus because it uses the
startup notification timestamp from the process's initial launch.

If a fix appears in time, it might be worth including.
