Description Petter Sundlöf 2006-04-17 12:39:36 UTC 
Contrary to its behaviour in versions previous to GNOME 2.14, gnome-terminal now
steals focus from windows that are launched from it.
Two examples are qiv and mplayer. The case with qiv is more serious, since it
only allows keyboard control in the main qiv window. In both cases one is forced
to alt-tab to the qiv/mplayer window to make it not be obscured by the terminal
window.

I've certainly observed this behaviour when launching applications from the command line. I've started to wonder if it was a "feature" or not.
