Here's one for you, although not a Mavericks addition (it's been there
since OS X was first released.) ...

You are using one application, then you decide also need use another so
open it and while it's opening you go back to the first application to
continue working in it ... but highly irritatingly the windows of the
new application keep popping up over the current application as it
opens "in the backgorund" blocking the view of the working application!

This happens on a daily basis where I'm using Eudora to write emails. I
then log on to the internet (a dial-up connection) and once that has
connected I open up Thoth and Firefox, but continue to work in Eudora
... except the Firefox and Thoth windows keep popping up over the top. 


The front most application should not be covered by background
application windows opening up.  X-(
