Like Ted wrote it appears that a newly opened window steals focus. It is this I want to stop.

Any more ideas?
The venerable WindowMaker has a preference "Automatically focus new windows" right on the first pane of its preferences dialogue. I just tested it with a Ted-style sleep 20 ; xterm command and it worked.
So I think this is a window manager configuration problem. Probably there's some mistake in the Gnome interface guide which requires new windows to get focus. It wouldn't be Gnome's first mistake IMO.
Hope that helps a little,
