Bug Description

Evertime I move/copy files the "progress window" will steal the focus.
Sure, I want to see the progress but I don't want that it forces me to activate the file managing window again.

I am using Thunar 1.6.2 under Gnome 3.4 / Ubuntu 13.04.

The copy/move progress indicator window takes focus back at creation or deletion of file or directory.

To reproduce :

- copy a large file from one place to another
- drag the progress indicator window wherever you want (you can even minimize it in the system tray)
- browse any directory with thunar
- create a dummy file/folder

-> copy progress indicator window pops up

This is an annoyance.

What makes it even more an issue is bug 7082 (https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7082) : cancel button has focus by default.
