My version of zenity is also 2.30.0, i mistyped it before, cause i was
testing it on 9.10 too.

Lately i realised that this behavior is a matter of the window manager.
Running zenity from a terminal, its window doesn't go to the top in
Gnome when i have other window active. It does, when running it by
clicking on an icon. So the wm probably prevents the popups getting
focus that are run from an inactive terminal.

This is not an issue with Xfce's wm or other wm though that i tested on
the same system. So it's probably the way metacity behaves by default.

I tried to set the focus from smart to strict as the only option here
with gconf-editor in /apps/metacity/general/focus_new_windows, but it
doesn't help either.

Seeing that the file /usr/share/zenity/zenity.ui has all its focus
settings set to True by default (what the patch did provided in upper
comments), i might say that it's not a zenity problem anymore, and it
depends on the focus policy of the wm.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: zenity

Current Intrepid, zenity 2.23.3.1-0ubuntu1.

Happens with Compiz or Metacity as window manager.

zenity --title "Title" --entry --text "Message"

The popup appears below all my other windows, rather than on top. It worked fine in Hardy.
