  Banshee steals focus (twice!) when starting. I think this is a
  usability problem and can also, to a certain point, be a security
  problem, since that if you are, for example, writing a password
  somewhere and then Banshee steals the focus, you'll be writing the
  password at Banshee's search box (and someone may be looking).

  What I expected to happen:
  - I'm reading something at, say, Firefox (gedit, evince, instant messaging, etc.), click on the Banshee icon and click immediately on the application I was, to keep reading/doing what I was doing. Banshee should start in the background.

  What happens:
  - I'm reading something at, say, Firefox (gedit, evince, instant messaging, etc.), click on the Banshee icon and click immediately on the application I was, to keep reading/doing what I was doing. Banshee window steals focus and appears at foreground. I switch again to the application I was before and then Banshee, when it ends loading the music library, steals focus again, appearing in the foreground.
