Description Jean-Philippe Fleury 2008-11-16 23:12:41 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When a script uses zenity to display information, the zenity window doesn't open with the focus, so we have to click on the windows list of the task bar to read information shown by the zenity window.

Steps to reproduce:
1. In a terminal, write this:

zenity --info --text="Un message."

and press Enter.

Actual results:
The zenity window appears under the terminal, so we have to click on the task bar to show zenity.

Expected results:
zenity should open with the focus, so over the terminal.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

I really think this is a regression, following patch, taken from 
ubuntu bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zenity/+bug/272083
corrects the issue.

I think that we must wait for the inclusion of the patch in the zenity release.

I can confirm this is still not fixed in 2.26.0 on ArchLinux 686.
