I get this problem with default settings using the latest metacity in Edgy - I think this is a very important bug to fix before release as it can mean you end up in states that lock your control;
For example, if you click to focus on a qemu window but metacity doesn't give focus, the keyboard will then be disabled and you'll be unable to move the mouse away from that window (so you have to alt+f4, losing any work you may have had). -- [Edgy] Focus doesn't always follow window selection https://launchpad.net/bugs/57344 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
