Bug#323745: metacity: focus problems with Java 1.5 applications

Package: metacity
Version: 1:2.10.2-1
Severity: important

I'm using Java applications, such as IntelliJ IDEA, on a daily basis, and
found a very annoying behavior with 1.5.0_04. Whenever a Java
application in the background and, for some reason, requests focus,
metacity grants it.

I'm aware that this is also a problem with the implementation of many Java
applications/the JDK, but Metacity could help lowering the annoyance level by
ignoring those kind of focus requests.
