I have noticed that this is also becoming more common with linux (unbutu 10.04) and was wondering if this behaviour is a part of the programs themselves or if there is a system wide setting that will stop it.
That is, I want to be able to specify that the foreground task I am using does not lose focus unless I tell it to.
Anybody out there have more in depth knowledge of this sort of thing? Nev
This is prossibly more a matter of your desktop/window manager settings than it is due to programs "jumping the queue".
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!
