I'm not sure if this is what You all mean but here's what I see is as an
issue regarding focus:

= Windows displayed in full-screen keep focus when they shouldn't =

== Steps to reproduce ==
$ gnome-terminal --full-screen
$ nautilus; firefox
$ exit

== What's expected ==
Gnome-Terminal opens in full-screen.
Nautilus opens "above" the terminal.
Focus jumps from terminal to Nautilus.
Terminal becomes the Nautilus' console (std::err receiver) and doesn't take 
input (other than [ctrl+c]).
After the Nautilus window is closed Firefox window opens "above" the terminal.
Focus jumps from terminal to Firefox.
Terminal becomes the Firefox' console (std::err receiver) and doesn't take 
input (other than [ctrl+c]).
After the Firefox window is closed user can input "exit" to close the terminal.

== Actual result ==
Gnome-Terminal opens in full-screen.
Nautilus and Firefox open "under" the terminal and neither steals focus or 
sends std::err to the terminal.
If there were more windows opened tapping [alt+tab] once doesn't bring either 
Nautilus nor Firefox up because both opened at the end of the list (in 
applications switcher).
Focus remains in terminal so the user can input "exit" to close it.

= Windows opened in the background steal focus when they shouldn't =

== Steps to reproduce ==
$ gnome-terminal --full-screen
$ gedit &
$ exit

== What's expected ==
Gnome-Terminal opens in full-screen.
Gedit window opens "under" the terminal and doesn't steal focus.
User can input "exit" to close the terminal.

== Actual result ==
Gnome-Terminal opens in full-screen.
Gedit window opens "above" the terminal and steals focus.
User can't input "exit" to close the terminal.

= Additional info =
If you do the same with Gnome-Terminal running without the --full-screen 
attribute all three mentioned applications will open "above" the terminal 
(focus remains as described).

= Summary =
There's no unified behaviour regarding focus stealing so the user can't control 
it by opening processes in the background or foreground.
