What means "disabled by default"? I hope we get the old behaviour by default :)
Right. Thats what I meant. The RH bugzilla on this issue is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=186308
Great. This makes me very happy. Even using Eclipse is a pain with this "feature". Every time you check stuff in, Eclipse opens a dialog for the changelog. Well, this dialog doesn't have the focus, requiring me to do yet another action to bring in focus before I can type! Nothing to do with terminals BTW.
Can't say I love this option but it works for me. There are people who do actually prefer the new option like LWN's editor Jonathan Corbet ( https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2006- February/msg00086.html) for example. Not a surprise since the original motivation for this new behavior seems to a article on that website. I can't find it now.
Well, yeah. But his motivation is mainly that apps are slow to load. The fix is to make them faster, not allow people to do something for 6 more secs until they start. It's just the wrong fix. And besides, what can you do meaningfully in a few secs? This actually _extends_ the time significantly as it will take you a few seconds to manually regain focus.
Anyway, thanks for the info. Help is on the way! :)
