It's a little tricky in the case of TeX, as there is output regardless of whether there is an error or not. It would be great (and probably not that tough) to simply not focus the result window -- which could be pulled forward in case of errors.
Not giving it focus means it cannot be closed from the keyboard or the "errors reported" can't be followed using the keyboard either (at least not without cycling through the windows).
Right, that's the idea ;) …At least in my usage of LaTeX, I quite regularly run it through the paces so as to always have a very current view of the actual document. This is probably not particularly efficient, but it's awfully nice. That being the case, however, I get a new "results window" each time, which I have to get rid of in one of the standard ways, rather than cycling to it only in the odd case that there is an error.
Perhaps one solution would be to simply add one more "Standand output" choice -- a normal window that is not focussed.
