I have the *opposite* problem: new windows appear in front of the active window.
I can prevent windows gaining *focus*, by changing Compiz's settings, but I haven't found a way to change where new windows appear in the stacking order.
I'd like new windows never to appear in front of the active window. The only time a new window should appear at the front of the stack is when I've launched it from a panel or a dock, and so the panel or dock is active and not the frontmost window.
