Is it a new fonction ?
Not very useful is it ?
Every new window is opened behind the shell. Try to type open sabayon,
by typing the
command from a shell, and you will find that the sabayon window is
completely covered
by the shell from which it was opened. In fact it made me think sabayon
was broken
as nothing seamed to happen.
I think that they did it this way to prevent opening windows from
grabbing the user input,
something that could be serious if the user is typing a password.
However that situation is very rare and I think this should be regarded
as a bug.
With the old behaviour it's disturbingly common for a dialogue to pop up
and steal keystrokes. It's perfectly possible for a dialogue to be
dismissed (by the user pressing the space-bar) before it's read - that
has happened to me, and depending on the dialogue perhaps to result in
other wrong actions.
KDE has been doing this for years, and once I became accustomed to it, I
think I've only found it inconvenient once or twice. The time I can
remember is running tsclient on FC3 to run a remote desktop to a Windows
box; when the session ends, the tsclient login dialogue pops up and is
disabled by a (meaningless) modal error dialogue behind it.
