If a user starts an application, they want to use it so it should be focused.

I beg to differ. If I want to use an application, I move my mouse to it. I often start an application in the background, and will come back later to it. *I* decide when I come back to it, not the window manager's developer.

This behaviour of GNOME is one of the main reasons why I don't use it, though I tried it several times.

Cheers, Joachim
