Description Nicolas Dufresne (ndufresne) 2011-03-27 23:07:48 UTC 
It seems that if the mouse is placed at the bottom of the screen and a notification is being displayed we loose focus.

To reproduce:
1. Open Rhythmbox music player and press play
2. Open a text editor
3. Place you mouse at the bottom
5. Type while music changes

Text stops being written as soon as the mouse get on top. It's expected to keep focus on the active window. I'm a little surprised of such a bug since window focus has never been mouse centric by default on Gnome especially because window could pop under the mouse and steal focus this way.
