Gaim tries to manipulate focus and stacking order by itself, so it's
broken in many ways, IMHO.

Can you try this:

- - Open 2 windows (like, say, basic xterm) on one workspace. Stick one of
the two windows and focus the other one (ie the window that is focused
is not the sticky one).

- - Then switch to another workspace where there is no other window
opened. The sticky window is therefore the only window eligible for
focus. Therefore, the sticky window should be focused (it is, here)

- - Now switch back to the previous workspace, the original focused window
(ie not the one that is sticky) should be focused (it is, here).

If you can make this test, and it passes successfully, then xfwm4
correctly restore focus and works as expected.

Cheers,
Olivier.
