It actually looks like we try to focus the foreground window when the virtual
desktop gets WM_TAKE_FOCUS. That really should work, but in my testing it
doesn't.

When I click the titlebar of a virtual desktop with notepad in it, notepad does
not get the focus (I can't type into it while my mouse is on the virtual
desktop titlebar), and I get this:

trace:event:handle_wm_protocols got take focus msg for 0x30032, enabled=1,
visible=1 (style 96000000), focus=0x30032, active=0x30032, fg=0x20052,
last=(nil)
trace:event:set_focus setting foreground window to 0x20052
trace:event:set_focus setting focus to 0x30032 (480000b) time=3998603

It seems we do SetForegroundWindow(0x20052), then we really set input focus to
GetAncestor(GetFocus(), GA_ROOT), which returns 0x30032. 20052 is notepad, and
30032 is the desktop.

Does setting Foreground and reading back Focus make sense? I'm not very clear
on the concepts.

(The problem with X11DRV_SetFocus is different from set_focus and still exists
too.)
