I ran a couple of tests again with QXEmbed and Qt on both sides and could 
_not_ reproduce any of the mentioned focus problems.

If somebody believes he found such a bug, please send me a small, 
self-contained example that reproduces it. Right now I'm simply lost. 
Whenever I test it, it works like a charm. 

Note: embedding legacy stuff does _not_ count. As I tried to explain several 
times on this list, there are issues with X Focus that are not solvable 
without a protocol like XEmbed. _Unless_ you simply give focus to your 
embedded window with XSetInputFocus() (ParentRelative) when you activate the 
component. But then you pay a tradeoff: accelerators, shortcuts and tabbing 
won't work anymore in the embedding application and after 
activating/deactivating another window, you will have the same problems again.

QXEmbed works around most problems, it is clever with focus and it forwards 
all keyevents to the embedded window when appropriate. However, if your 
embedded window doesn't accept those sent events, there's nothing we can do. 
Most apps work fine though, including Mozilla.
