it seems no one actually have been able to (properly) run firefox for example?
I have no problems with losing focus and i am able to launch firefox without any problem.
I'm not using devilspie, netbook-launcher or any other tool mentioned in the previous posts.
The only thing i did was create a script which will start the gnome windowmanager and launch firefox.
Just launch this script with the Launcher plugin:
firefox.sh:
Code:
metacity &
firefox
killall -9 metacity
That's all. Once you quit firefox, the script will kill the windowmanager and XBMC will regain focus.
But maybe things depend on the way you autostart XBMC? I use gdm to launch XBMC as a session. The behavior might be different when using others methods...
