'ello.

This really follows from my bug-report,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/221152 --
as I'm fairly sure I saw a similar report with either Edgy or Feisty,
but am lacking the fu to find it (there are only so many regexps I can
throw at mboxgrep).

Does anyone here remember a fix to it (I don't think it needed patching,
but it may have done), the short summary is:

links in gnome-terminal ('g-t') used to open in browser, but keep g-t
in focus -- at least under gutsy.

since upgrading to hardy, i've noticed my browser steals the focus. A
quick downgrade of 'gnome-terminal-data' and 'gnome-terminal' doesn't
fix it, so i suspect the problem's in a dependency or something else.

'Anyone remember the previous remedy/incident? Has anyone got a link to
the mail from when it came up last time?


TIA,

a

The focus stealing is a matter between the browser and the window
manager. Gnome-terminal is an innocent third party.

No.

IIRC metacity has a setting in gconf somewhere, where it lets you change
the focus stealing policy. I don't remember if Compiz also has
something like that.

Microsoft's entry in this cavalcade of horrors is Universal Plug and Play
(UPnP). This is a protocol that allows [...] an end-user system to request a
dynamic port-forwarding from the firewall to the box. Many network
administrators will probably (rightly) recoil at letting applications on a
Windows box dictate firewall policy.

Metacity: use gconf-editor to tweak "focus_new_windows"
in /apps/metacity/general (it can be "strict" or "smart")

Compiz: Install the CompizConfig control panel (it's in
compizconfig-settings-manager) and go to
General Options/Focus & Raise Behavior/Focus Prevention Level, which can
be Off, Low, High, or Very High
