I agree, but the problem was that the window manager takes into account
which application was clicked on to change focus. So, when the app
requests it itself it blocks it on the grounds of "focus-stealing."
The code there is an attempt to make it behave the way that users
expect. I think it shows that we can't win in the arms race against the
window managers. We need to let focus stealing happen, and fix the apps
that behave poorly instead of having WMs protect us from bad apps.
