I like the general behaviour and haven't noticed the Metacity 
implementation of it getting in my way yet. Apple has implemented this 
in OS X's WM and it's a huge relief to not have to worry about new 
applications jumping in front of what you are currently working on.

Some applications don't seem to play nicely in OS X though, like 
Firefox.. so I don't know exactly what Apple's done but a quick study of 
the OS X behaviour should probably be done to see what their compromises 
are and apply that knowledge to Metacity.
