I use Compiz Fusion since quite some time now. And it is not really
surprising, that it behaves the same way. (Compiz was forked into Beryl
and later reunited with Compiz as Compiz Fusion.)

I just did a quick test with OpenBox. Normally gtkpinentry steals the
keypresses there as well, but somehow I managed to get the input into a
gvim window. It seems that gtkpinentry crashed on this, but I'm not sure
what really happened.

Well it is gtkpinentry which must request focus in the first place. The
window manager should then keep the visual focus ("active window"
border) around the window receiving key strokes. On the other hand I
personally think that it is a design error to provide programs a way to
request this "feature" of catching *all* input independent of focus in
the first place.
