Company found a bug in the XI2 handling of GTK+. The gtk+ bugfix exposes
a very visible bug in Xorg. The Xorg bug will be in Xorg 1.12.
If you're responsible for a distribution, please either run 1.12, or
ensure the fixes from freedesktop bug 44079 are applied to your Xorg
*asap*.
Reference:
- https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657578
- https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44079 (not loading atm)
In short:
- in case gtk+ 3.3.x
- ensure you have patch from https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44079
- otherwise bad things happen ("important focus events do not fire")
