Package: digikam
Version: 2:0.8.2-4
Severity: normal


I launched digikam from an icewm menu. Knowing that it
takes som time to start, I decided to work with another app
in the meantime.

This work was hampered by digikam stealing keyboard focus
_three_ times as it started up.

Now, it is perfectly reasonable for an app to grab focus once as
it starts - the user launced the app so presumably he
wanted to use it!

There is absolutely no excuse for grabbing focus more than once though.
When I took focus away, digikam should know that I want to work
with something else and not stupidly grab focus _again_ just
because it eventually got further in its initialization process.
When I work with something else - I work with something else...

In particular, the splash screen shouldn't grab focus at all, as
there is nothing you can do with it anyway.


Don't get me wrong - it is an indispensable piece of software,
but please don't go the way of commercial programs that
are much worse with their irritating focus-grabbing

Helge,

Thanks for your bug report.

I have tried with digikam 0.9.2 that is currently in unstable and it doesn't
appear to seal the focus.

If this issue still persists for you please reopen this bug report.

Thanks,
Mark
