Actually I use the MATE window manager.  I don't know why the output of
report-emacs-bug I sent in the previous message doesn't include information
about the window manager, I see several ENV variables with this name,
maybe report-emacs-bug should include one of them:

  DESKTOP_SESSION=mate
  GDMSESSION=mate
  XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=MATE
  XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=mate

And I can't find such a focus-related option in the MATE window manager.
