Possible bug in evince?

When using evince to view a document, I've found that evince doesn't take window focus when launched. This is very annoying because Alt-Tab, or, more importantly, Alt+F4 don't work as expected. I suspect a bug in evince, but it could also come from my window manager (metacity), or something else?

So, is anyone experiencing the same problem? Any comments?

Ok, turns out it's not a bug, just a horrible "feature" in metacity called "focus stealing prevention".
