Odd window focus behaviour

I use XFce4 rc3 as my main desktop now (very nice, BTW!) but have a few odd
problems. One of these is strange focus behaviour when using apps via Wine
(specifically, the CrossoverOffice version). The symptom is that, when a main
window opens a dialog (e.g. a Find box) and this is closed, focus does not
return to the main window - although the border indicates that it is focused,
it will not accept text input until I click in the window.

Native linux apps don't show this behaviour, and it didn't happen under KDE or
Gnome so there's obviously something odd happening here. Does anyone else see
this, and can anyone suggest how I can stop it happening? I will be asking on
the crossover list also to see if anyone there can suggest a solution.
