Focus parents of dismissed transient windows in preference to the window

Browse Source 
2005-02-02  Elijah Newren  <newren@gmail.com>

	Focus parents of dismissed transient windows in preference to the
	window that most recently had keyboard focus.  Fixes #157360.

	* doc/how-to-get-focus-right.txt: Note the distinction between
	"most recently used window" and "most recent to have keyboard
	focus" that we are now making.

	* src/workspace.c: (focus_ancestor_or_mru_window): rename from
	meta_workspace_focus_mru_window, and first check whether we need
	to focus an ancestor window before looking for the mru window,
	(record_ancestor): helper function for
	focus_ancestor_or_mru_window,
	(meta_workspace_focus_default_window): update due to the function
	rename from meta_workspace_focus_mru_window to
	focus_ancestor_or_mru_window

Try 2 to correct misleading and inaccurate wording. Hopefully,

@ -37,6 +37,14 @@ Focus method Behavior
mouse Focus the window containing the pointer if there is one,
otherwise focus the designated "no_focus_window".
Note that "most recently used window", as used here, has a slightly
different connotation than "most recent to have keyboard focus". This
is because when a user activates a window that is a transient, its
ancestor(s) should be considered to be more recently used than other
windows that have had the keyboard focus more recently. (See bug
157360; this may mean that the alt-tab order should also change
simultaneously, although the current implementation does not do that.)
Also, sometimes a new window will be mapped (e.g. unminimizing a
window or launching a new application). Most users want to interact
with new windows right away, so these should typically be focused.
