On basic Fedora Core 3 gnome (using the Metacity window damager), and traditional focus-follows-mouse, how does one prevent the focus from changing when a new window is opened?
At least for me, the principle of least astonishment is continuously broken when a newly opened window grabs the focus from right under my mouse pointer (and I need to move the pointer out of my window and then back in to regain it).
