No application should ever steal focus from the user just because it has something to alert them about. I could see maybe a white list - for sure there might be some system-related thing that should steal focus (eg a daemon needs to ask for a root password or something). But in general NO.

For now I won't send alerts when DESKTOP_SESSION says 'cinnamon'. If there's some way to communicate to apps that you don't have the bug anymore that'd be nice. I have no idea how to do that.

You can manually apply patch to
/usr/share/cinnamon/js/ui/windowAttentionHandler.js(on Mint 13) and then restartmdm.nikolaykhodov repliedOct 2, 2012
