I've not been following this dialogue carefully, and I think I have heard
the answer I would give to this issue. But I'll say it explicitly in case
I am wrong:
The focus change should only happen if the "transient" window is the one
which already _has_ the focus. If it doesn't then no refocus should
occur. None of the issues I have noticed being discussed would be
answered wrongly with this.
