I was submitting the bug report on gvim and it occurred to me: wouldn't it be 
a valid feature an xfwm4 config option to ignore the timestamp from 
NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW and always give focus ? The "rule of least surprise" may be 
worth abiding to even if that means patronizing misbehaved applications such 
as gvim. A config option might be a fair compromise.
