Bug#282120: sound-juicer: stealing focus makes me sad

[Andres Salomon]

Package: sound-juicer
Version: 0.5.14-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

When I click the Extract button in the main window, it usually takes a
few seconds between when I actually click it, and when the Progress
window pops up.  In the meantime, I have usually clicked on another
window, and have started doing something else.  Unfortunately, the
Progress window steals focus at that point, so whatever I happen to be
typing gets entered into the Progress window (and when I hit 'enter',
that selects the Cancel button..).  This behavior is mildly annoying.
It would be nice if either the Progress window didn't steal focus from
the currently focused app, or if the Progress window went away
altogether (maybe incorporated into the main window).

Focus stealing is usually reserved for dirty, no-goodnik apps like gaim; I
think sound-juicer is too nice of an app to resort to that sort of
behavior.
