Hello, I would like to ask for some feedback regarding bug <https://launchpad.net/bugs/495403>, which was reported in December 2009 and is still pending as a papercut. The reported issue is that it is possible for windows to steal the focus when you're typing something. The example given by the reporter was when connecting to several servers at the same time with Nautilus. Due to a delay in the load time of the servers he would already be filling in his password for one of the servers when Nautilus would let a dialogue for another server steal the focus, making him type half the password in the different dialogue and then press enter.
This is indeed irritating behaviour, and I think it is something we ought to fix, but I do have some questions. Isn't this already solved? With autologin enabled you get a dialogue from gnome-keyring that after having started e.g. Empathy for the first time that asks for your password to unlock the keyring. I think that it is already not possible to steal the focus of that dialogue. Is this a valid papercut, i.e. is this easy to fix? I'm not familiar with the source code, so I can't say. Should we only prevent stealing the focus from dialogues, or also from regular windows? I think it could work confusing to do this for all windows, so I'd be in favour for just the dialogues.
