Description Gregory Merchan 2004-01-31 08:40:12 UTC 
Using the new API from bug #64613 and the globally active input model
generally ( bug #133040 ), the parents of modal dialogs should refuse
focus offered by the window manager.

However, the WM_TAKE_FOCUS message should not just be rejected. It should
be used to set input focus to the correct modal dialog. This can be done
by translating the message into a GdkEvent, as in the rejected patch at
bug #64613 , and then using the timestamp of that event to set focus
with an API provided by bug #133042 .

We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are closing bugs that haven't seen activity in more than 5 years. If this issue is still imporant to you and
still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please consider creating a gitlab issue
for it.
