Just wondering if anyone here knows of the design rationale for the
(seemingly intermittent to me) notification i get informing me that an
application window is ready for my attention.

I seem to get these most when opening a file in the default application from
firefox, or opening an application from the terminal, or sometimes when
clicking on a notification from an application. In all cases when I see this
notification, I did want to see the application window to appear and get
focus.

There is a shell extenstion available to turn off this application is ready
behaviour, which I do use, but IMO, this would be a useful default behaviour
to have turned on in Workstation.

Focus stealing prevention ... i.e you don't want the password you have
been typing in a terminal to get into the chat app you just lanuched
;)

For some cases it triggers even though it shouldn't in that cases some
apps are broken (opening windows without or with wrong timestamps).
It seems that it triggers sometimes for some applications, and not for others. From me as a user point of view, it is quite random if i am going to get a notification that i have to click on or not. Is there any pattern or reason as to when the notification shows up?

For example, i am getting it with geary when i click on the notification telling me that a have gotten a new email, then i have to click the "geary is ready" notification.
