Yes, that's why I use XFCE, it's easily configured. The Ubuntu icon 
brings up my Notecase Pro notes, etc., etc.

I don't want to be disturbed with Firefox popping up when I click on an 
URL in Thunderbird, I go to the Firefox window when I am done reading. 
So in XFCE Settings > Window Manager Tweaks > Focus I check "Do 
nothing." Have been doing that for some time now without any blinking 
notices until recently.
