Description
To reproduce:
- Open VS Code with VS Code OpenShift installed, and ensure the OpenShift terminal is focused
- Close VS Code
- Reopen VS Code
- Quickly switch to another window
- Wait a few seconds for VS Code OpenShift to finish initialization
Expected: the other window remains focused
Actual: VS Code becomes focused
Not sure if this is a VS Code bug or a bug with our extension. Maybe this is Linux specific. Maybe this is Gnome specific.

Research direction
Reproduce the startup sequence with the OpenShift terminal focused, then quickly switch to another window and observe whether VS Code regains focus after initialization. Investigate the extension's initialization behavior alongside VS Code, Linux, and GNOME focus handling; done means the other window remains focused after the extension finishes starting.
