Bug Description

Insert cd, wait for our utopia to do its magic.
gnome-cd fires up, plays the music of the stars, but in doing so recklessly
grabs focus like a hollywood starlet on oscar night.

upstream have closed this bug with this comment:

"I'm not convinced. when a user plugs in, say, an iPod, I expect that they would
expect the iTunes-like program to be focused. It is what they are currently "doing".

maybe some actions one would expect to be backgrounded, but not all actions and
so I don't think we can simply generically make all apps not get focus when
launched.

as of right now, I'm thinking not important so closing. if real-world users
complain, we can reopen and reconsider the issue and figure out a strategy at
that time."

Doing the same on this bug. Feel free to reopen if you disagree.
