Yes, that would make sense because if it's a modal dialog, you can't type in the main application window anyway. That's the only case I see where "stealing" the focus is OK, and it's not really stealing because that's what a modal dialog does *by definition*.
The only question remaining is what would make sense when a new window opens right where the mouse is currently located (assuming focus follows mouse). My best guess would be to not give it focus until the mouse moves. -- New windows stealing focus -- and passwords? https://launchpad.net/bugs/54741 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
