Description darkxst 2012-12-21 02:14:30 UTC 
I have noticed that sometimes its really hard to get mouse focus on some icons in the messagetray. Most if not all of the affected icons seem to be legacy icons.

For affected icons you need to actually mouse over the outline/edge of focus highlight box to get the focus.

This is needed by the shell to filter out certain events

gnome-shell-plugin: Extract focus notification ignores

This is a preliminary patch to make the diff in the next patch
cleaner. This just shuffles code around without changing anything.

Otherwise, we'll see issues with tray icons.
