execute application issues with keybindings

for some reason when i use my keybindings to open applications with lxde they open in the background and do notget focus. is there a way to change this around? i am using the default lxde-rc.xml for keybindings.

Something like this should be in your xml file:

<focus>
  <focusNew>yes</focusNew>
  <!-- always try to focus new windows when they appear. other rules do
       apply -->
  <followMouse>no</followMouse>
  <!-- move focus to a window when you move the mouse into it -->
  <focusLast>yes</focusLast>
  <!-- focus the last used window when changing desktops, instead of the one
       under the mouse pointer. when followMouse is enabled -->
  <underMouse>no</underMouse>
  <!-- move focus under the mouse, even when the mouse is not moving -->
  <focusDelay>200</focusDelay>
  <!-- when followMouse is enabled, the mouse must be inside the window for
       this many milliseconds (1000 = 1 sec) before moving focus to it -->
  <raiseOnFocus>no</raiseOnFocus>
  <!-- when followMouse is enabled, and a window is given focus by moving the
       mouse into it, also raise the window -->
</focus>

Adjust accordingly.

my file already matches this.
