"creation of" is not something that's particularly well defined in X. Child windows are clipped to (wholly contained within) their parent, so in the evolution example from earlier, the compose window is a child of the root window, not of the mailbox view window. So at window creation time, there's no obvious relationship between the compose and mailbox windows. They do happen to have the same WM_CLASS and WM_CLIENT_LEADER window properties. But that still only addresses automatic focus changes within a single application. Automatic focus changes across apps is probably desirable; otherwise, nothing you launch from the gnome panel will launch focused, which is rather absurd. - ajax
