I'm reopening this because there is a real problem reported here, confirmed by
multiple people, that is unrelated to bug 9320. It seems that with some window
managers, for some people, clicking on the client area of a window does not
give it keyboard focus. This is the original problem reported, and it looks to
me like Michael was confused and started talking about the virtual desktop
issue, also changing the bug description.

Please do not discuss virtual desktop focus in this bug. It is a separate and
known issue, already filed as bug 9320.

Here is the simplest way to reproduce the issue as I understand it:
1. Be unlucky. (It seems some people can reproduce it and some cannot. I can't
reproduce it, personally. The window manager may be important here.)
2. Use Wine with default settings. (No virtual desktop, allow the window
manager to control and decorate the windows, and do not set the UseTakeFocus
setting.)
3. Start a program, such as wine notepad.
4. Switch to a different application.
5. Attempt to switch to the wine window by clicking in its client area.
6. Type something. The keyboard events go to the other application's window,
not to Wine.

Is this correct?
