Make returning from 'background rendering' a bit more polite

Hello,

I frequently use the 'background rendering' option and then use my PC to do something else while rendering (post on IL forums, upload stuff, whatever).

I've noticed that when background rendering finishes FL jumps up, makes itself fullscreen again and grabs focus from whatever you might have been typing in or clicking on.

It'd be great if instead of stealing focus, there were an option to have it pop up a polite dialog box saying something like 'Rendering finished, click to return to FL' that doesn't steal focus from whatever else you're doing at the time. Or it stays minimised and waits for you to switch back to FL or click on it in the taskbar before maximising again.

This can especially be a problem if the rendering brings up an error dialog -- you can accidentally press enter to dismiss it without getting a chance to read it.

Thanks for reading my request!
