Unfortunately, most of the comments on this bug report -- including those by jmspeex, ChrisH, Gok6tm, user2037, Michael, Thomas Folz-Donahue, Greg K Nicholson, and avdd -- have nothing to do with the bug.

This bug report, like the Gnome bug report it links to, is specifically about dialogs belonging to background windows. It is not about focus stealing prevention in general. If you have suggestions for improving the focus stealing prevention algorithm, I suggest you work together on a specification with a flow chart for how it should work. Include a description of how it would differ from the existing algorithm, and examples of how it would do better. If you don't know what the existing algorithm is, research that first.
