I guess the fault may lay partially with metacity, as it _also_ exhibits
stupid keyboard-grabbing behavior (when a new window pops up, whoops,
_there goes your keyboard input_!!).

Hmmm, advice on how to turn off this annoying behavior in metacity also
appreciated.

BTW, I use "sloppy focus follows mouse" mode in metacity.

Please make sure I'm CC:d on any replies, as I don't subscribe to debian-user.
