just as a follow up, that I can reproduce that with GDM 3.4.1-2.

        Warnung der Fensterverwaltung:Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a timestamp of 0 for 0xe00007 (Anmeldefen)
        Warnung der Fensterverwaltung:meta_window_activate called by a pager with a 0 timestamp; the pager needs to be fixed.
        […]
        Warnung der Fensterverwaltung:CurrentTime used to choose focus window; focus window may not be correct.
        Warnung der Fensterverwaltung:Got a request to focus the no_focus_window with a timestamp of 0.  This shouldn't happen!


Thanks,
