* If I have focus in a window (I'm busy typing something in a text
field for example), no other app should be _ever_ be able to steal
focus from that window

I agree. This totally drives me crazy. I'm writing something in Mail, and Safari pops up and ruins my write. or I'm writing something in Safari, and Mail pops up and ruins my write. Mail can even interupt its own windows! I think you didn't address one app interupting itself because of a timer-based "user-event", without any real user asking this to happen.


This has got to be near the top (or maybe the top even) of my annoyances with MacOSX. MSWindows does this. But I don't remember MacOS9 popping up windows so often. I remember instead that there was an alert in the application menu.

The other thing that drives me crazy is eternally bouncing apps in the dock. If an app is bouncing away like an angry kangaroo, I simply cannot concentrate on what I'm writing. The fact that it is going to bounce forever doesn't help. It forces me to have to click that app to the front, and then click the previous app back again, just to remove the notice.

Something a bit more discreet would be great.
