I think the focus should be put in the aplication where the user lastly put his focus. For example:
I click on the launcher for Firefox, NetBeans and Gedit, in that order. All start launching and Gedit is the fastest one, so I start typing. With the current behaviour, Firefox window would get focus and I'd type in the address bar what I wanted to type in Gedit. Since the last launcher I pressed whas Gedit, the system should remain focus on it.
If, however, the last launcher I pressed were Firefox's one, Ubuntu should put his focus on it, since it is supposedly the application that I want the foucs on.
