windows grabbing focus

My pet peeve is when a pop-up or alert window grabs focus when its parent application
doesn't have focus.

Typically this occurs when I go to load a website, see that it is taking a long time and
click to another window to do something else while the site loads or it times out. Then in 
the middle of whatever else I'm doing an error message window saying "cannot load site" pops 
up.  I really don't care, I can check on that when I return to the web browser.  If it were
to interrupt other browsing activity that would be fine, but to interrupt whatever you're
doing on the computer is a PITA.
