I'm not sure what to make of this -- this is something that should be
handled on the level of the program, not the window manager itself.
For instance, bug 373974 deals with the update manager's issues with
focus stealing.
bug 391479 deals with windows stealing focus on another desktop.
Also, with modal dialogues around the corner, I believe that this most
certainly makes any issue like this pertain to the program itself (and
should be filed as such); since it's the programmer's job to set what
buttons are focused.

Bug description:
Sometimes when (often) I type (on IM or OOo or whatever), an
application decides to show up a dialog box (whatever the program is,
I'm not talking about a specific program, it's a general-purpose
problem) that is focused on top and before I could realize that the
box had showed up I type on the space bar : this valid the default
choice even if I did not wanted to !
I have several solutions for this :
* Disable button checking with the space bar
* Disable button checking with the space bar if a key has been pressed in
the last XX seconds (2 seconds ?)
* Disable button checking with the space bar if the dialog was focused on
top of an other application
