I'm not aware of anything else, and you reported the patch as being
sufficient back then.

So I don't know what else might be a problem, though I recall that
setting sloppy focus was the workaround for the old bug.
For mwm, that was doable via:
Mwm*keyboardFocusPolicy: pointer

so I wonder if that setting that (s/Mwm/Dtwm/) *might* avoid the issue,
or if it doesn't.

HTH,
