jQuery refocuses the browser when the window is too small for the screen

I know the real problem here is that our user ought to just use a better screen resolution, but I thought I would ask in case there is a way around that.
 
I am using a jQuery gallery that cycles through 4 images.  If the screen resolution is such that the whole jQuery is showing at the same time, there is no problem, but apparently, if the resolution is set so low that the user has to scroll to the right to see the right-side of the screen, AND the user has scrolled all the way to the right to see whatever is on the right side of the screen, then when the gallery moves to the next picture, the browser focuses back all the way to the left (presumably to see the new picture), causing the user to "lose his place" in what he was doing on the right-hand side of the browser window.
 
I want to just say "stop using 800x600", but I am here to "serve" the customer and it turns out we have no minimum standards on what we support. 
 
Is there a way to tell jQuery not to focus when it changes the picture so that the browser won't focus on what jQuery is doing?  It is not calling an onFocus().  It must be part of the rotate().
 
Any ideas (short of telling him to adjust his monitor resolution) would be appreciated.
