I think the problem is that no event is triggered when you
destroy a window, even the one with the focus. In general it
is correct that no window receives the focus when the one
that had it is destroyed. The focus is given to a new window
only when you enter a new window with the pointer (with
SloppyFocus and Mouse Focus). This generates an EnterNotify
event that takes care of the focus.
