Not rhialto> all that easy to reproduce, it seems :-( Damnit! :-) Here I was trying to get enough time to dodge the interesting bug reports enough to make a release :-). This one is hard to ignore... Of course, I could simply view it as an annoyance to be resolved in 3.8... >From a purely bug-fixing point of view, without getting hung up on the release process, I wonder what might give this kind of behavior, and maybe there's something I haven't quite understood. Until now, I have believed that unmapping a window would take away it's focus (basically implying LeaveNotify event). Of course, I imagine that this may be a bit more tricky when getting back to the workspace and mapping windows back. Could that be the place where things get a bit screwed, because the selection of window to give back the focus to might be flaky? I haven't looked yet, I'm basically just theorising to see if I can pin-point the place to go looking. And oh, I welcome anyone to do the same. Patches will, as always, be joyfully accepted!
