Still broken in Ubuntu 14.04. Please fix. It should be a simple matter
of focusing the desktop just like any other window? Giving the desktop
focus on default when no windows is under the mouse?

Title:
focus follows mouse breaks desktop interaction
Status in Unity:
Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Environment: 11.10 x86_64, unity; focus follows mouse enabled with
'gconftool-2 --get /apps/metacity/general/focus_mode'
The problem: When there is at least one window open, the desktop
doesn't get focus. Key presses go to the window and not the desktop.
To reproduce:
1) start with empty desktop
2) create an empty test folder (mouse 3>new folder)
3) open nautilus window. Move so that it doesn't obscure the test folder
4) select test folder on desktop. Leave mouse outside nautilus window.
5) type delete to delete the folder. The keypress is delivered to the
nautilus window. (If anything was selected in the nautilus window, it was
deleted instead of the test folder.)
Since Unity doesn't come with a configuration interface I'm unsure
which user preferences are supported/intended by developers and which
ones aren't. I'm assuming that Canonical intends users to be able to
set prevalent preferences (such as focus follows mouse) since doing
otherwise would create a profound user experience regression. Is that
assumption correct?
