--- Comment #27 from Michael Abbott michael@araneidae.co.uk 2009-10-19 02:05:11 --- Ok, *exactly* the same behaviour under Gnome as under XFCE: Keyboard focus follows mouse when using a virtual desktop.
This will probably explain why some people are reporting all is well: try again with a wine virtual desktop, and check where your mouse is!
Should I change the title of the bug to reflect this new behaviour, or would that be too confusing?
