alt-tab target window immediately loses focus if focus_mode is sloppy and mouse not over target window

Sloppy focus doesn't seem to work with keynav any more (like doc/how-to-get-focus-right.txt says). To reproduce: 1) Run xterm (call this window A) 2) From xterm, start xev (call this window B) 3) Leave the mouse over window A 4) Alt-tab to window B Expected results: window B should have focus. Actual results: window A ends up with focus. I say "ends up with" because window A does get the focus so briefly as to be unnoticeable, but xev shows us: [...] FocusOut event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1a00001, mode NotifyNormal, detail NotifyNonlinear [time passes, now comes the Alt-tab...] FocusIn event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1a00001, mode NotifyWhileGrabbed, detail NotifyNonlinear KeymapNotify event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x0, keys: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 FocusIn event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1a00001, mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyNonlinear KeymapNotify event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x0, keys: 77 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 FocusOut event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1a00001, mode NotifyNormal, detail NotifyNonlinear ^C
