It probably doesn't have anything to do with your problem directly,
but maybe I should mention that I too had trouble going from Ubuntu
9.04 to 9.10 (and later). I have a mechanism in Fvwm to automatically
flip focus when switching pages or closing windows. While this
autofocusing itself had no trouble, it had some bad interactions with
a couple of special case windows whose focusing I want to work
differently. AFAIK, this was caused by changes to X, because I tried
several different versions of Fvwm and Ubuntu and only changing the OS
would cause the problem. I fixed it by modifying my Fvwm config.
