Re: help needed: window focus bugs

[Rob Adams <readams readams net>]

I had planned actually to disable focus-stealing prevention if the
accessibility support is enabled, rather than have a separate setting
for it.  I'm going to try to spend some time this weekend sorting out
some of these issues, but I'm not sure I have enough time to get to all
of them.  I hope that maintainers of in particular gnome-panel,
epiphany, and gnome-terminal could spend a little bit of time working on
this if at all possible.  Gnome-panel has a strange problem with wnck-
applet, which we don't understand, but somehow the timestamp is set
wrong on the preferences dialog for just that applet.

We're sorry to create work for you.  But it is a cool feature...
