Focus model

[roger]

Hi,

I created ~/.config/xfce4/xfwm4/xfwm4rc (read-able by everyone) with the only 
line:
	prevent_focus_stealing=true

Are you aware of a test case that would allow me to check this is considered?
I couldn't find any; for example I would like that a password doesn't end up 
(in clear) in a newly-opened terminal.
In my case
- opening a Terminal
- launching a 2nd Terminal
- starting typing restlessly in the 1st Terminal before the 2nd be up
always ends up with the last input characters showing up in the 2nd Terminal 
as soon as it is there.

I run Xfce 4.2.2, the focus model is "Click to focus" and the "Automatically 
raise windows when they receive focus" checkbox is set.

Thanks,
Roger
