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?
