Bug#472532: metacity: panel’s shutdown/logoff dialogs don’t get input focus

[Michael Schutte]

Package: metacity
Version: 1:2.22.0-1
Severity: normal

When calling “System/Log out” or “System/Shutdown” from gnome-panel’s
menus, the confirmation dialogs do not get the keyboard focus.  This
happens regardless of the input device used to invoke these menu items.
The worst part is that there is no logical way to focus the windows
using the keyboard only, Alt-Tab simply skips it.  The dialogs gain the
focus as usual when hovering (or clicking) with the mouse.

This bug first occurred in metacity 2.22, together with gnome-panel
2.20.  If I can help debugging, please let me know.  If this is only a
temporary issue until gnome-panel 2.22 hits the archive (haven’t tested
it), I’m sorry for the noise.

Cheers,
Michael Schutte <m.schutte.jr at gmail.com>
