Well, I still don't know what the excpected behaviour is. Where is the
spec ?

What I can see is :
- launch eclipse (take a while)
- open firefox and give it focus
- when eclipse finishes opening, it will show on top of Firefox and "steal" focus.

This behaviour is coherent, if eclipse opens on top of Firefox (and maximized) it must have focus (or else the global menu is incoherent with the app showing on top).
Another way could be to open eclispe underneath and let firefox have focus until the user switches to eclipse.

I don't see any clear design decision stated... but the current
behaviour is fine to me.
