[Bug 341092] [NEW] [jaunty] compiz seems to ignore gtk_window_set_accept_focus(GTK_WINDOW(window), FALSE);

[Michael Flaig]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

There seems to be a problem in compiz which affects at least cellwriter (Package cellwriter)
Cellwriter inputs written text into the active window and therefore has to not accept the focus. 
  gtk_window_set_accept_focus(GTK_WINDOW(window), FALSE);

This works with metacity as expected. Cellwriter never gets the focus.

When switching desktop effects on it also works in this session, however
after logging in again it doesn't work right anymore. Compiz then seems
to ignore the setting above and gives cellwriter the focus. This is of
course bad because the input then can't go to the window it is supposed
to go.

There is already a Bug open for cellwriter, see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/333054 for details. But as you can read
there cellwriter can not do anything about not getting the focus then
set accept_focus to FALSE. Therefore I concur that the problem must be
located somewhere in compiz.

Short update: I forgot to mention that this worked with intrepid and
compiz before
