If you aren't already using it, perhaps try the new development version
of Conkeror.  It is an enormous improvement over the previous version,
and I believe it fixes most, if not all, of these types of focus issues.

You can obtain it from the GIT repository by first cloning the
repository:

git clone git://repo.or.cz/conkeror.git

Then creating a local branch corresponding to the "experimental-buffers"
branch, which happens to be the name of the current development branch:

git checkout -b experimental-buffers origin/experimental-buffers

To update to a newer version later, use:

git fetch
git log HEAD..origin/experimental-buffers [optional, shows you the changes]
git merge origin/experimental-buffers

Alternatively, you can have the gitweb on repo.or.cz generate a tarball
snapshot of the latest GIT version without using the git client from
this URL:

http://repo.or.cz/w/conkeror.git?a=snapshot;h=experimental-buffers;sf=tgz

You can install it the same way as you installed the previous version of
Conkeror-xr.  Alternatively, you can simply copy xulrunner-stub from
your xulrunner installation directory (/usr/lib/xulrunner perhaps), into
the Conkeror directory, rename it optionally to e.g. conkeror, and you
are good to go.  (Create a symlink or a shell script to invoke it,
perhaps).

There isn't a lot of documentation currently, although some built-in
help is now available via the commands

C-h b   (describe-bindings)
C-h w   (where-is command)
C-h f   (describe-command)
C-k k   (describe-key).

The best source for help is the #conkeror IRC channel on freenode
(irc.freenode.net).
