When a X11 application is started, typically what happens is: - A startup notification token is created, with a _TIME%d suffix - The application being spawned receives it through the environment - (dbus piping, maybe) - The application replies the startup notification token, and fetches the timestamp from it - The application makes a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW client message request with this timestamp - Mutter handles this client request and activates/focuses the window Prevent this last step if windows are not interactable (e.g. there is a compositor grab) and ignore the focus request. This specifically applies to X11 clients requesting focus themselves, and unlike previous approaches, doesn't try to prevent focus changes that do come through interaction with Mutter/GNOME Shell. This should only break if applications do not observe _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW and perform XSetInputFocus on themselves, but in that case the X11 keyboard focus is stolen from our hands already.
