I know this, however this does not work correctly in a multi-desktop
setup without some cooperation between Firefox and Metacity. This
is clearly (at least at this point) a distro issue, simply because
the Mozilla people can't do anything about it given the large variation
out there in the field (tens of WMs, etc).

In fact, when a link is opened in a new tab on same desktop, the app
button in the taskbar flashes. This is not a Firefox behavior, it is
the desktop. There's nothing Firefox-ish about it. When it opens in a
_different_ desktop however, you get nothing! No indication, sign, etc.
You are left to hunt through the various desktops like an idiot.

I hope people don't consider this acceptable.
