We had a similar problem in Epoch, which was traced to the fact that
if the WM has a passive grab on a key, the X server sends Focus events
to the client (8.4.3.2), and this confuses Emacs. You might want to
add code to the Focus event checking to only listen to Focus events
that are of type NotifyNormal.
