I see this bug on my PPC cooker system, with mozilla, WindowMaker and a gnome2
session active. When switching to the workspace where mozilla is, some or all of
the mozilla windows try to get the focus (or get to the front?). This goes on
for so long I always interrupt it by holding down alt and keeping the mouse
button pressed inside the frontmost mozilla window. I can't confirm the crashing
however, mozilla has been very stable lately. 

The key combo I use for switching windowmaker desktops is the standard alt+1,
alt+2, etc.

In WindowMaker I have several desktops.  I use a hot-key combination to change
from one desktop to another.  My WindowMaker is configured with Auto input
focus mode (focus follows mouse),   without automatic focus of new windows,
and with "Opaque move" turned on.  "open dialogs in same workspace as owners"
is also turned on.

In one of the desktops I have Mozilla.  I can switch to and from that desktop
without problems when there is only one mozilla window open.
However, if there are two or more (a second Mozilla window, or a pop-up), then
there is a problem when switching from another desktop to the desktop where
Mozilla is.  There is no problem switching from Mozillas desktop to another
desktop.   Moreover, the problem is only when switching manually with the
hot-key.   If switching by clicking on the desktop switcher of WindowMaker, the
problem does not appear.

The problem is the following:  The mozilla windows flicker when I switch into 
this desktop.  In order to reproduce this problem, the mouse must be located in
a certain area of the screen before switching to Mozilla desktop.

To reproduce:
1. Start a X session with WindowMaker (I do it from GDM, init 5)
2. Configure WindowMaker to have two desktops:  A  and  B
3. In (A), open Mozilla.  Use the hot-key to change to (B).
4. Now go back to (A).  Mozilla does not flicker.
5. Now open a second Mozilla window.  Use the hot-key to go to (B).
6. Use the hot-key to go back to (A).   The title bar of the Mozilla
   windows flickers, and most of the times the mozilla window does not
   get redrawn until a while later.    

   Before doing step (6), you will be in desktop (B). At this point, make
   sure that the mouse is in the area where the second Mozilla window is
   in the other desktop.  In other words... once you switch into (A),
   the mouse ought to land on top of the second window.  Otherwise the 
   problem does not appear.

On occasions, Mozilla will even crash after flickering for a short while.

I have not found the same behaviour with other applications that have two
windows open at once.

I have not found this behaviour of Mozilla when I try the same experiment
under KDE.   Only on WindowMaker.
