The coming to the front is intentional; it's the way that people expect it to
work if you have keep single instance set. This is normal behaviour for those
classes of windows programs that allow a single instance option. If we did
not do what we are currently doing people would complain and this wastes my
time.

The 'coming to the front' behaviour is not, as you seem to think, a means of
forcing people to know what program is in use.
