Maybe we do talk about different issues here. If you are currently
typing, then new windows do not get the focus. However, they do get
the focus if you didn't type anything in the last second or so. I. e.
the behaviour tries to avoid suddenly typing stuff into another
window, but if you merely use the mouse to start an application, the
new window will have the focus. I just tried it again (with something
like 'sleep 5; nautilus' and typing (or not) in another terminal).
Can you please confirm that this doesn't work for you?
For the record, I do not consider this as an 'Oh my god, the sky has
fallen' bug, but focus stealing is annoying and dangerous enough to
make sure it gets eventually fixed. If there is a problem in dapper,
we need to judge the patch complexity whether or not we will fix it in
dapper.
