I noticed a different behavior with 4.2 but there is still this problem.

Now when clicking on a desktop in the pager it changes the workspace without
giving the focus to any app even if I click directly on a mini-window (with 3.8
it would focus the app). And this is the same thing with keyboard
(Ctrl-Alt-Left/Right) unless I had given before the focus to an app in each
desktop, in this case it works as I would like to.

I hope I am understandable ;)

Example :
1) I use my browser on desktop 2.
2) I switch to desktop 1...
a) ...with Ctrl-Alt-Left
I launch two terminals on desktop 1. The second has the focus. Then
Ctrl-Alt-Right, my browser has the focus, and when I come back to desktop 1 the
second terminal has it so it is OK. I like this behavior.
b) ...with mouse on the pager
I launch the two terminals and the second has the focus. Then when I come back
to desktop 2 with Ctrl-Alt-Right or the mouse my browser doesn't have the focus
! And I would like it to have it.

So maybe it is a problem of the panel getting the focus as it was said in the
first comment, but why is it normal ? Actually I don't really understand the way
the focus is given when changing workspace, it could be more coherent and not
depend on the way you change your workspace.
