I think that's reasonable. I wasn't complaining about the current behaviour at
all, just to be clear.

In fact, my personal preference would be not to display the main window. At
the moment, though, in Gnome 3.2, nothing receives focus by default, which is
why one is presented with the Orca welcome message, followed by nothing
whatsoever. Again, that isn't necessarily wrong, but it can create the
impression that all is not working correctly.
