[Bug 808777] Re: Determine if / how we should switch workspaces when focusing Thunderbird

[Chris Coulson]

Sam, what are your thoughts on this? This is a problem with everything
in the messaging menu currently. It seems that compiz deliberately
blocks focus if the window is on another workspace (if my understanding
of PrivateWindow::isWindowFocusAllowed is correct), but then, this
doesn't work in Metacity either...

Is there a reason for doing it like this, or could we change it? If not,
is there a way we can work around it in Thunderbird? (and Evolution,
Gwibber etc...)
