Hi,
I hope that it is not too late to ask your community to consider very seriously the matter of stealing focus that other OS/DEs suffer from.
To be more precise, after starting my computer I choose 5 apps to get opened. While they are opening I choose the 2nd one (which opened) to work with. Now, the other 3 apps should complete start without coming forward and interrupt my work. They just appear in the task bar, either flashing, lighting or not. This feature would also be a general option, like: "Allow stealing focus: false/true".
Thanks in advance.
PS: "Always on Top" is not a SERIOUS solution at all!!! Discussing with some DE developers I was told that it is a matter of OS and not of DE. OS allows app windows to comes up.
