Hi Ron,
Which OS and desktop are you using?  If Linux with KDE, focus stealing
prevention can be set on a per window basis.  Right click on the window
titlebar and select "more actions > special window settings > appearance &
fixes > focus stealing prevention".  You might want to play with it a bit to
get things the way you want.
