You mean that I have to call window.focus() a couple of time for it 
works, or that when that works that the title bar isn't focused?

I use a pretty standard installation of Ubuntu, but other people are 
reported the same bug(?) with other distro's ever since people expect 
thing to refocus when they try to open an already opened error console 
or preference window (just two examples that fail).

Thanks,
