No - on other platforms I have a window manager that gives focus to
new applications automatically.  Or, if I don't want new applications
to grab the focus, I tell the window manager that that's what the
policy should be.  Either way the application shouldn't forcibly and
unilaterally grab the focus.

I'm prepared (predisposed, even :-) to believe that windows sucks, so
I'll take the patch if it only affects windows.

Paul.
