It's not up to the splash screen (or any other part of Orca) to do that.
The splash screen simply appears and goes away. And when it goes away,
it's up to the window manager to decide what window should have focus.
Orca's job is to correctly report that focused window, a job it does in
response to receiving an accessible window:activate event.

Presumably, based on your description, the desktop was focused. It
temporarily lost focus when the splash screen appeared. When the splash
screen went away again, your window manager figured it should put focus
back on the desktop.

> Is this as I described, proper behavior?

If Orca presented your location to you accurately, yes.

Hope this helps clarify things. Take care.
