Comment 31 for bug 272083

Steve:
If you look at zenity.glade more closely, it defines each possible top level widget on its own (eg Calendar, Question, Info dialog etc). So this bug affects all widget types, and they need to be individually fixed.

The existing behavior (in intrepid and earlier releases) was that zenity would take focus - due to how the window manager was handling things. In jaunty, window managers are finally respecting options like that properly, which is how this came up.

Additionally, i've reviewed upstream's change history. This bug was introduced in 2.23.1 in the middle of making a new release changelog. Looking at that, it really looks like it was an oversight to me. Here's when the changeset was introduced:
