When I type "ooffice file.odt &" it doesn't mean I want to stop all work
on anything else until openoffice gets around to talking to me. if I
type "gthumb image.jpg &" it means I want to see the image, but I don't
necessarily want to type at it. I have to say that the new focus
behavior has improved my life considerably. I hope it doesn't go away.
