Thanks jcinacio! Works perfectly now.

This is truly a bug, I agree with the comment above that the desired behavior of Zenity is to steal focus and demand user interaction. Either this should be configurable as a command line argument in the zenity program, or the default setting should be changed back to the way in was in Hardy. For notifications without stealing focus, I'd suggest people use something like Growl.

For any rusty hackers that forgot how to apply patches (like me), and want to fix their zenity behavior, it's easy. Just download jcinacio's file above, and run the following command:

sudo patch -p0 /usr/share/zenity/zenity.glade < /PATH/TO/DOWNLOADED/PATCH/zenity-2.24.0-focus.patch

Thanks again.
