Well, focus stealing prevention is not a bug, but a feature which is
actually quite useful in various cases (especially with apps that are
slow to start). Most of the bugs come from the applications themselves
and that's what we should fix.

(the reason many apps are buggy when it comes to this is that this
feature was added late to the UNIX platform, and so many apps were
written without knowing about this)

It turns out http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=273912 is the bug
reported by the Supreme Court, I think.

But I'd love to know more about the Sun patch :-) Was it just disabling
focus stealing prevention?
