Hi all.

we japanese users is always using "Input Method".
it display a new dialog, when inputting japanese.

Now, the "focus" control to this dialog is the same
 as other applications.
XFce4 of us cannot provide to Japanese people as 
comfortable use environment with this.
I think that the same is said of the users, such as 
China and Korea.

First, operation by kinput2 of most general XIM 
in Japan is explained.

1. SHIFT+SPACE key is Start Japanese char input.
   display "input mode signal" dialog.
2. SPACE key is transration KANJI char
   and 3 time SPACE key is transration char list dialog open.
3. enter is Determination

A problem is in "step 1" of the beginning.
If there is focus to a dialog at this time, it will not 
progress to 2 of transration step.
but, focus is required when the dialog of list comes out
 at the time of step 2.

I do not know this problem is in xfwm4 or other.
In the past, there was the same problem also by WindowMaker.
In WindowMaker, it has the method of solving as follows.

------- ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMWindowAttributes------
 Kinput2 = {
    NoTitlebar = Yes;
    NoResizebar = Yes;
    NotClosable = Yes;
    NotMiniaturizable = Yes;
    KeepOnTop = Yes;
    Omnipresent = Yes;
    SkipWindowList = Yes;
    NoHideOthers = Yes;
    NoKeyBindings = Yes;
    NoMouseBindings = Yes;
    KeepInsideScreen = Yes;
    NoAppIcon = Yes;
    Unfocusable = Yes;
    DontSaveSession = Yes;
  };
----------------------------------------------------

It expects that it can have the same solution method.
