I run into this when I use firefox to download podcasts. I start a new download and the download window doesn't get focus, but instead flashes in the taskbar.

Nothing wrong with that, I think it's much better than it was before.

But a request: if you please have it only flash 3 times and then stay highlighted. That's enough to get my attention.

The way it is now I cannot go on doing what I was doing because that flashing is Very distracting, and doesn't stop until I click on the window.

Reproducible: Always

This used to be the case -- I specifically made it stop flashing.  But it seems to have broken at some point.  Since we're moving over to libwnck, I don't think we'll have control over this.  Maybe a feature request for libwnck?  "Blink buttons with urgent/demands attention X times before stopping"?
