Are you sure you didn't have another gedit window open. It seems to work
as Owen mentioned (only if you don't have an existing window open)...
it's so close to what I needed, unfortunately I always keep a browser
open in the background.
Definitely not, I use gedit as a test application only. But I see what's
the problem now--it only works from freshly started terminal. So all the
terminals that were running at the moment I set focus_new_windows to
strict didn't pick that setting and continue to open new windows
focused. Isn't that a bug in gnome-terminal (or metacity)?
