Requesting that a window not have focus for gtk+ >= 2.6 should be done
via calling

  gtk_window_set_focus_on_map (some_gtk_window, FALSE);

rather than actually specifying a timestamp of 0 (there's a
gdk_window_set_focus_on_map function too).  For gtk+ 2.4.x (with x>=1),
manually setting the timestamp to 0 will be necessary.
