I've just compiled the new xfwm4.0.3 release (which I assumed contains this
fix) and tried it out. And it works! I no longer get any problems with focus
after using dialog boxes in Word, nor when Alt-Tabbing. I don't know why
Olivier is still seeing this in Notepad, but it's fine in Word  :-)

Many thanks for sorting this out!
