Description Gregory Merchan 2004-01-31 10:15:15 UTC 
To make use of the globally active input model, the connection between
GtkPlug and GtkSocket may need to be changed.

Concerns include:
 - Informing the socket of an event in the plug which requires setting focus.
   This must include the timestamp. XEMBED may need modification.
 - Informing either of modality and events affecting it. This may be handled
   already; I haven't checked.

What would the symptoms of this issue be?  Would it be that non-gtk plugin which uses xembed doesn't receive focus?
Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2006-09-20 18:09:34 UTC 
A plugin using "globally active focus" wouldn't be compliant with
the XEMBED spec. (I don't remember the details of how globally active
focus works, but it basically involves setting the focus to your
windows without involving the window manager. It is rare to non-existant
in practice.)
