Author GNOME 2.16 window focus problem

How can I configure gnome to raise a window and give it focus?
For example, if I'm reading an email in Thunderbird which has
a URL, and I click the link, the website is loaded in Firefox,
but I'm still looking at Thunderbird. I see the Firefox
item in the window list flash blue, but Firefox does not
receive focus, and is not brought to the top. This happens
with other apps as well.

I tried running gdm directly from /etc/inittab like this:

# Run xdm in runlevel 5
##x:5:once:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
x:5:once:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon


Any ideas?

-Thanks
