Title:
  Synchronous notifications briefly steal focus

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in notify-osd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It appears synchronous notifications (at least those for volume and
  brightness) briefly steal focus when they appear. This is quite
  problematic for games and some other applications that pause as soon
  as they lose focus. The focus stealing does not happen with normal,
  asynchronous notifications.

  Here's a quick Python program to reproduce this:

  #!/usr/bin/python
  import gtk
  import time
  def cb (wid, ev):
  	evtime = time.strftime ("%H:%M:%S", time.localtime())
  	print ("%s: Lost focus!" % evtime)
  win = gtk.Window()
  win.connect ("focus-out-event", cb)
  win.show_all()
  gtk.main()

  
  You could also just start playing Quadrapassel, then adjust your volume :)
