"What's the difference between a focused and an unfocused dialog, when
it's in front in both cases?"

"Focused" has confusingly varied meanings, but for a window the most
common meaning is what in the Mir spec I call "input focus": receiving,
by default, input from the keyboard and other non-pointing devices.
Gimp's palettes, LibreOffice's tear-off toolbars, and Compiz's "Always
on Top" function are examples of how a window can be in front even while
unfocused. In the long run, for issues like pausing video or even
suspending entire apps, whether a window is mostly/completely covered by
other windows will be far more relevant than whether it is unfocused.
Right now, though, it's still far removed from fixing this bug.
