Ubuntu's Update Manager does the pop-to-front thing as it switches from downloading the updates to installing the updates. It is definitely not stray mouse or keyboard activity causing it because I had a maximised window in front, and the update over the weekend wasn't the first time I'd noticed. Very annoying!
Yep, when this happens it's insanely annoying. Especially when you hit enter as a dialogue box appears which immediately dismisses it and you don't know what you just agreed/didn't agree too as it was on screen for a fraction of a second.
What would be a nice feature would be to not allow anything to steal focus like this and just have it sit on the window list flashing away merrily to attract your attention.
