	I've got the same problem using 2.6.3 :-(. Autorise is off and it also
happens with and without running nautilus. Autofocus is on when mouse is
over windows...


I've tried with a fresh user (to see if it was a configuration problem
and I can still reproduce the problem). This are the steps to reproduce
the problem in my computer (hope it helps):


   - Create a new user and log into X
   - Go to "Applications/Desktop Preferences/Windows" and select "Select
windows when the mouse moves over them"
   - Go to "Applications/Desktop Preferences/Keyboard Shortcuts" and
create shortcuts for switching workspaces (I normally use Ctrl+F1,
Ctl+F2, but tried with others).
   - Open a window (a terminal will do). The window automatically gets
the focus (is the only window opened). If you move the mouse over it and
then over the background the focus stays on the terminal window as it's
kind of "sloppy".
   - Now, with the mouse OVER the background (not the focused window)
move to another workspace (using the KEYS) and go back to the previous
workspace. The result is that NO window is focused even that the
terminal is the only window in the workspace.

	Let me know if you can reproduce the problem! Thanks,
