When using shortcut ctrl shift N, to open a new shell, the new shell is opened BEHIND the actual one.
Is it a new fonction ?
Not very useful is it ?
Its alleged to be a feature. It tries to open applications run from a shell behind the shell so that you keep having to bring them to the front. This
includes new shells, programs you really wanted to appear in front of it,
and so on. In theory it stops a new application from interfering with the
command line you are typing, but it is intentional.

There should really be some way to turn this off, e.g. in gconf

Wouldn't the ideal behavior be, if keyboard events are being captured
then the window is being drawn to the back, else draw it in the
foreground?  This should give us a balance of security and convenience
without having another gconf setting to turn on or off.
Yes, that sounds great! BTW, is this "feature" a Fedora thing or is it a Gnome 2.14
problem. If so perhaps you should notify notify the Gnome bugzilla as well.
