Could you provide some more examples of:

 - What are trying to do
 - What happens
 - What you expect to happen.

Focusing with Plug/Socket is supposed to work identically
as without plug/socket. And to my knowledge this is
the case for 1.2.10 + patch. (Other versions might show
various small defects, but will mostly work like this.)

What if you try programs like the GNOME control center -
does focusing work there for you?
