Are you using enlightenment as your window manager (Gnome\enlightenment is the RH6.1 default)? If so, you need to change the configuration so that new windows automagically get the focus. You can change the settings via Gnome Control Center -> Window Manager -> Run Configuration Tool for Enlightenment -> Behavior. Make sure that the "All new windows that appear get the keyboard focus" option is selected.
