    Currently when I open a big project unity itself and some windows set themself active a lot which is really, really annoying.
    The window that is most annoying in this regard is the little "importing" window. It when moves itself into my current view every few seconds until the import is done.
    I think it is using some x window api like "active", if you have some suggestion how I can fix this in the user space of my window manager I'm all ears.
    I'm on 2019.4.16f1.

    To be clear, the issue is that the windows get set into the foreground in an annoying way.

    For stumpwm I found that
    ```
    (push ':)class "Unity-editor") *deny-raise-request*)
    (push ':)class "Unity-editor") *deny-map-request*)
    ```
    gives me peace of mind. (Both do something, you can first try the map-request, it's the one for the Importing... window which is the most annoying)

    Do you know if this is an issue on 2021.2? If Unity is stealing *activation* from the system, that's not something we should be doing and opening a bug would be helpful.
