Starting simple/specific is always a good idea :-) But because of the wildly different behaviours of different desktop environments, fixing the GNUstep focus behaviour with one environment could mean breaking it with another environment. So while starting with one (or two) specific environments is an excellent idea as it helps understanding the details and the issues, the core of the problem is not just "fixing" one environment at the expense of all others, but figuring out a plan for dealing with the general problem of different focus environments. We need an intelligent solution. I think Hubert should keep that objective in mind.
