           Summary: Focus does not work when switching workspaces
           Product: Xfce
           Version: 4.2.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux

I originally posted this within

  http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=759

but perhaps is a separate bug?  In any case, heres the details:

 - am using xfce 4.2.1 RPMs that are about to go into Fedora 
     Extras
 - am switching between desktops using <ctl>-<alt>-<left|right>
 - using the "focus follows mouse" setting with "raise on click", 
     "raise on focus", and "new window focus" all set to OFF
 - when switching into a new desktop, the focus will frequently be
     on the wrong window -- the window directly beneath the mouse 
     will not have focus as it should -- instead some other window
     (often, the last window to have focus within that desktop) 
     will instead have focus
 - moving the mouse out-of and then back-into the desired window 
     will give it focus
 - problem apparently happens with all the applications that I use
     including xterm, Firefox, Terminal, Evolution, configuration 
     windows, etc. and does seem to be related to the applications 
     themselves -- it seems to be a window manager problem
 - problem does not happen every time but it does happen very 
     frequently -- say, about 1-in-2 or 1-in-3 -- and it does 
     appear to prefer to focus the last window that had been 
     active within each desktop

Please let me know if you want any other details.
