Currently using ubuntu 11.10 updated.

I encourage anyone which extensively use desktop applications to try:

Scenario:
6 desktop windows in 2 rows x 3 columns

Window distribution:
1 2 3
4 5 6

Window 1-  I use lotus sametime for work, as well as an auth application, and 
sometimes I use "empathy too"
Window 2 - Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome
Window 3 - Spreadsheets, Word Documents
Window 4 - rdesktop terminal server
Window 5 - Lotus Notes
Window 6 - Terminals.

As you can image I end up switching windows a lot but if you are used to
this kind of distribution you work very fast.


The problem:
I specially notice when window focusing is not working right when switching 
back and forth from the terminal window to for example the browser window 
because you see the a hollow cursor as if focus was into another application, 
but there is just the terminal application, you switch back and forth again and 
now I get the normal window cursor.

When it affects in firefox is specially annoying, you for example have
to fill a form  of those you have to click, a list appears and select
when you try select a choice  you move the mouse to select and the menu
hides as if you clicked out. Or in the address bar, you can type there
but firefox suggestions for previous visited urls don't show up, but
switch to another window and back to browser window and voilá, it works
normal now.

When this happens, it doesnt matter if you click the present window for
focus, the "semi-focussed" behaviour does not stop until you switch to
another window and back.

With Gnome-Tweak I tried to work-around the problem trying the sloppy
focus and I also had problems of the same kind.

Hope this can be fixed as it has been happening since 11.04, it can be
really frustrating.

Thank you for reading.
