But you said it happened to you before (I understand that those precise 
instructions don't reproduce the bug for you).

OK, it's just that I did not see it in reportbug.

Four workspaces, and switching workspaces with Ctrl+Arrows. I have ~12 
windows alltogether. 3 mozilla windows on w1, emacs and a terminal on 
w2. It's always the same terminal migrating from w2 to w1.
Session started from gdm as a gnome session. Sloppy focus and auto-raise.

Note that for focus & raise, this is as setup in Gnome's Desktop 
preferences/Windows. If I open Desktop preferences/Metacity setup, it's 
"Click" focus selected, and auto-raise is not selected. Feels wrong that 
there are two places to setup those things, and that they are not 
synchronized. It seems the first one is winning, since I do get sloppy 
focus and auto raise behaviour.
