Stealing focus: PIL

I'm using the Python Image Library (PIL) for Python 2.4.

If I have an image and I show it
from PIL import Image
im = Image.new('RGB' ,100,100)
im.show()
then the output window steals focus. It's very handy to use
an image to show the progress of execution for my program,
but the computer is unusable when focus keeps on being stolen
every few seconds. How can I prevent Image.show() from stealing
focus?

PIL runs an external utility [1] to display the image, so this is more of
a window manager issue than a PIL issue.

1) "xv" by default, but this may be changed by distributors.

Is it possible to display a window on top without it stealing focus? (and I'm not talking about stealing focus from my application - I'm talking about it stealing focus from any application.) I've read that calling ShowWindow() with SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE would work but I tried and it didn't. I'm implementing a Windows Messenger-style notification window that occasionally pops up with information. Thanks, Robert

I am using a WebBrowser object in my .NET 2.0 application, but it is not shown to the user. Every time a timer event triggers it to perform a m_WebBrowser.Navigate() I get that classic IE 'click' and it steals the focus from the user's current application. How can I prevent the hidden WebBrowser from stealing focus? (And better yet can I even suppress that click?_

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
