  Thanks for the suggestion. I applied this patch but it doesn't solve the
  problems.
  
  BTW, an easier way to show the problematic behaviour:
  
   - Open an instance of firefox, move the cursor into its window if
     necessary.
     The firefox main window has keyboard focus.
   - Type Control-S. The Save dialog appears on top of the main window.
     The Save dialog now has focus.
   - Type Escape. The Save dialog disappears.
     Although the cursor is stil in the main window, this window does
     not have keyboard focus. If fact, no window has.

I have other focus problems, but your firefox test works as expected for
me. Other than the patch I mentioned, the only other one I've applied has to
do with window cycling. My focus settings are different from yours, maybe
that's the difference.

  <focus>
    <focusNew>no</focusNew>
    <followMouse>yes</followMouse>
    <focusLast>no</focusLast>
    <underMouse>yes</underMouse>
    <focusDelay>0</focusDelay>
    <raiseOnFocus>no</raiseOnFocus>
  </focus>
