Metacity's new window focus behaviour (Score 1)

The most major one (with no fix that I'm aware of) is that starting a new GUI program from a terminal window doesn't give focus to the new program. This makes things like xmame -fullscreen impossible to use.

This is due to Metacity's (the window manager) "experimental strict-focus-approximation feature" recently introduced upstream:

There is a modified Metacity RPM package available for FC5 which has a patch to configure the window focussing behaviour:
