Yes, of course, what you see is normal as you are using gimp 2.4, I am
using gimp 2.6 and it works for me. gimp 2.4 never had that feature
AFAIK.

Btw, from the description itself, I do not see how this can be related
to the window manager, again, focalisation is for keyboard, and
modality is enforced by the application, not the window manager (the
window manager will prevent the focus from being moved to another
window when the dialog is modal but will not -and cannot, unless using
hacks- prevent the mouse events to reach the other windows).

So the whole explanation sounds bogus to me, I am yet to see a reason
on why the window manager is suspected in an interaction between the
mouse and the application window.
