[ILUG] rh8, metacity, gnome, keyboard focus

[ILUG] rh8, metacity, gnome, keyboard focus

I'm terribly impressed with RH8 but I've noticed a problem.
While using Gnome, when I change virtual desktops using keyboard shortcuts 
applications lose their keyboard focus.
According to the window manager (metacity?) the window still has focus (using 
the window decoration - it's blue, not grey) but typing anything doesn't 
affect the application. Sometimes, I have to change virtual desktops again, 
then back and it works. 

This happens occasionally while using KDE, but not as regularly. Oh, and it 
doesn't happen all the time, it hasn't happened since I started writing the 
email!

Has anyone else noticed this behaviour?

Donncha.
