I think this is just the opposite of the problem I finally solved for
myself on Debian / KDE 3.5 with kmail and konqueror. I think what you
want to do is try experimenting by setting Focus Stealing Prevention
for geany to Low (assuming it is currently set to a default setting of
normal) (or lower than its current setting, if it is set to low
already).
I recently did just the opposite for konqueror--I raised it from Normal
to High so that konqueror would not come to the foreground when I
clicked on a new link in kmail.
Rather than try to repeat the instructions here, go take a look at
http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/SetFocusStealingPreventionPerWindowKDE3dot5
What you want to do is do what I did for konqueror for geany, only set
it to a lower setting.
Hmm, that's a long URL--I should probably change the page name to make a
shorter URL--it might get split in this email.
Let me know how you make out, and if you can add or fix something on
that page feel free--it's a wiki, after all.
