That's the main reason I dislike the current behavior of the update

I personally think a better approach would be something like the
morphing things suggested in the notification guidelines: in
front, without focus and translucid. Wherever you were typing,
you can keep typing.

I believe a smart DE needs manners. You do not interrupt the operator while he identifies himself as "busy".

on the focus stealing issue i mentioned earlier.. there's a workaround i found, and i think it should be default in any ubuntu installation.

windows shouldn't be raised on click.
If i can click on a windows content, it is obviously already not covered by another window, so no need for window raising is implied by my behaviour. Why does the WM still raise then?
