Focus of new windows in metacity

[Eric Warnke]

I could be wrong, but I believe that was fixed with gnome 2.10 (
FC4t1+).  Metacity/gnome now does not preempt focus on new windows. 
They are also working on a theme friendly was for the window hint urgent
to be seen by the user ( please no bouncing icons ).

Cheers,
Eric
