Perhaps, but now that I've been keeping virt-viewer on a different
monitor (or just closing it until I need it) I'm not having the
problem.  The difference I think is that my mouse cursor almost never
mouses over the virt-viewer window now.  Is there something different
with how virt-viewer takes keyboard and/or mouse input compared to
other X11 clients?

Besides sloppy-focus, maybe another difference is that I have 4
monitors side by side, each rotated 90-degrees, and I typically keep
the virt-viewer window horizontally maximized on one of them.  So
crossing a monitor boundary also causes a focus change.
