Great. This makes me very happy. Even using Eclipse is a pain
with this "feature". Every time you check stuff in, Eclipse
opens a dialog for the changelog. Well, this dialog doesn't
have the focus, requiring me to do yet another action to bring
in focus before I can type! Nothing to do with terminals BTW.

Well, yeah. But his motivation is mainly that apps are slow to load.
The fix is to make them faster, not allow people to do something for
6 more secs until they start. It's just the wrong fix. And besides,
what can you do meaningfully in a few secs? This actually _extends_
the time significantly as it will take you a few seconds to manually
regain focus.

Anyway, thanks for the info. Help is on the way! :)
