Description James Antill 2005-01-25 17:12:04 UTC 
When doing a drag and drop from galeon to gnome-terminal, at the end the drag
will happen in gnome-terminal and the mouse pointer will be there but galeon
will be focused.

 Improvement: Make the target, not the source, focused. Ie. just do a call to
"focus whatever is under mouse".

The problem is that the WM doesn't know that the mouse has entered the
window--when you do a drag and drop operation, the source window grabs all
xserver events and handles them.  We need toolkit support to get this right.
