i find the focus stealing prevention pretty annoying at times - maybe
more annoying than a stolen focus.
maybe this would be better: when a dialog window pops up asynchronously,
disable user event delivery to it until half a second after
typing/clicking activity ceases (but no less than a second in total).
of course this still disrupts the workflow, but you don't miss actually
important stuff and you are still safe from confirming the nuclear first
strike by accident.
