[Bug 438868] Re: Numerous applications have focus issues after emerging from a screensaver or suspend

Conflicts with various cancelled SRUs and newer packages:

Per pitti's advice, I've pushed as '1:0.8.4-0ubuntu15.3'.  Please check
carefully if there are any regressions.

Bob: this is being uploaded to '-proposed', which you will have to have
enabled specifically.   When/if people confirm that the update works, it
can be migrated from '-proposed' to '-updates' which will them be pushed
out to most people.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

  For the past few weeks, builds of Firefox 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7 have
  exhibited a behavior where the autocomplete of the so-called awesome
  bar will only work sporadically.

  There are some times where the autocomplete will not work at all and
  other times when it will appear for a few milliseconds after typing a
  letter before disappearing.

  I haven't been able to pin-point what causes this, but I have found
  that restarting the browser resolves the issue until it occurs again.

  This doesn't happen very often, but at least a few times each day.

  Reproducible: Sometimes
  ==========
  SRU:

  This bug affects all users using compiz and Firefox.
  Patch is taken from the compiz 0.8.8 branch from upstream cgit. Patch has also been port-forwarded to 0.9 branch and is available in latest Natty compiz package.

  TestCase:

  With current stock Ubuntu compiz packages:
  1- When Firefox is open; allow screensaver to kick-in (or resume from suspend) and then start using Firefox
  2- Notice Awesome bar does not auto-complete with suggestions(firefox 3.6) and bookmarks menu, context menu are completely unusable(Firefox 4).

  Install compiz package from -proposed:
  Awesome bar, Context menu, bookmarks menus all work normally

  Regression potential:
  None ( maybe users notice more awesomeness of Firefox 4?)

  ==========
  Compiz commit which seems to fix the issue for Firefox:
