If you read [1], you'll see that mentions this behaviour is only seen
with some X clients, and xterm is explicitly mentioned as one for which
it works correctly.
(I think perhaps the problem is with X clients which implement the
WM_TAKE_FOCUS protocol, but I don't seem to have made that connection in
my contemporaneous notes, so perhaps it's more complex than that)
