That shouldn't be necessary, though.  The only applications I know that
takes focus when they start up are java applications.  awt does an
explicit XSetInputFocus() to itself when it creates a new window.

So I think it is your window manager that is set up to "automatically
give focus to new windows" (or as enlightenment 0.16 calls it: "All new
windows first get the focus")
