2. If that seems too draconian, in
./DistUpgrade/DistUpgrade.glade

set:
<property name="focus_on_map">False</property>

See http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gdkwindow.html#method-gdkwindow--set-focus-on-map

This solution doesn't work. Neither does setting "set_urgency_hint" = False in DistUpgrade/DistUpgrade.glade.

So far, I have not tested the other solution yet. If you minimise the app, it still throws the taskbar hint, but doesn't steal focus, incidently.
