I don't mind it asking me, I just don't want it grabbing the focus. There
must be some window properties that could be set on the popup to make
is a passive sort of popup, not an active focus grabbing popup. I'll
see it eventually when I finish what I'm doing and go check on updates :-).

Yep: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238231

Despite this weirdness, the ATI drivers seem to be working better than
ever - none of the things that almost always triggered this xorg bug

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8790

are triggering it anymore. I haven't yet seen the flickering and blanking
nonsense that plagued the system in FC6 (until I found a big enough hammer
to crush it :-).
