That is an excellent idea. I like that one when they introduce it in 
FC4. But we are talking about If I requested for a new window and I 
didn't  do any activity, the new window should be the focus.

But the good thing is that, with my latest update every thing is now 
back to the FC4 behavior.

Some one was talking about, it is now possible to configure it which 
behavior you want, but I don't know where you can configure it.
