I’ll check again but it didn’t work as I wanted to last time. What I want: give focus to new processes started by the user, but once the user manually switches windows, do not pop that app into the foreground when it is done launching.

XFCE’s WM (xfwm4) settings. And yes, I keep it unchecked.

KDE has “Window Rules” and I think it has an option for that
