Something I've hit a several times this week (owing to an abundance of
particular pathetic wifi) is:
1. Busy typing away in a shell
2. Wifi password dialogue pops up
3. tap-ety-tap-tapety-tap [enter]
I've now overwritten the (perfectly good) wifi password with the
end of my commandline, as well as having had a few words of input
delivered to the wrong place.
Perhaps the new window could be raised and placed in a
*non-overlapping* portion of the screen (if possible), but without the
input/window manager focus being changed.
This way the next window would be visible, but without the user's link
of communication to the previous window being severed. A one-time
click-to-focus would allow the user to consciously change where they
are typing in their own time.
