Yes, I realize my suggestion is most likely not the correct way
to solve the problem, just an intermediate step in trying to
figure out what the problem actually is.
I admit I'm a bit confused at the moment. In gwm, my workaround
is to call set-focus on enter-window for all windows except the
flash window. However, the problem appears not to be giving the
focus to the flash window, but removing the focus from the
*firefox* window. The sequence of events is:
add flash window
leave firefox window
(give focus back to root) <--(*)
enter flash window
(give focus to flash window)
Apparently, firefox losing focus in step (*) above causes
the flash window to close again, because commenting out that
particular SetFocus call disables step (*).
