That is _exactly_ what I want on my platform: no window should steal the
focus when I am in the middle of typing in some other window. And to
that end, my window manager does not shift the focus until I tell it to
do so.
So yes, this patch _does_ break at least my setup. But more importantly,
it is an application making a decision about focus policy that should be
made by the window manager. I understand that the window manager in
Windows sucks, and that this is a workaround that makes things better
there. But please don't inflict this braindeadedness on the rest of us.
