Well, I am a power user - I'm sending 60+ emails a day (gmail in
browser mostly), alt-tabbing all day. I can confirm it happens at
least with firefox when it's first loading, it happens with the ubuntu
update manager and synaptic, it happens with xchat when it is first
loading, it happens with openoffice when it loads, amarok when it
loads, evolutin when it loads, opera when it loads etc.

Good point actually - it's mostly as things load. But since I'm also
in a multi tabbed firefox or the cli often (admittedly I'm in
terminal, not ctrl-alt-f(1-6)) I alt tab back to the program I was in
almost immediately.

Actually, with update manager, it also focus steals when it's finished
downloading and it wants input (ok to install, ok to finish, etc)

ie, flick to desktop, hit launcher, flick back to terminal/other
program, focus stolen as loading program is ready for use.

I think they should stay in the background until I am ready to get
back to them...

cheers
