Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

When moving around windows between different workspaces with Compiz
(Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Left/Right), Compiz gives focus to windows you wouldn't
expect:

- Open one window on workspace 1 and one on workspace 2, focus the second one.
- Move it to the left with Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Left.
- Switch to workspace 2 with Ctrl-Alt-Right.
- "Oh, you forgot your window! Lets get it back.", so press Ctrl-Alt-Left.
- (Compiz has focused the other window now, not the one you switched around last.) Press Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Right. "What is this? I got the wrong window, not the I forgot (switched last)!"

The expected behaviour is that the topmost window on a workspace gets
focus when switching to that workspace (because it must have had focus
last when it is the topmost one in most cases).

This is a regession in 10.10, Compiz version 0.8.6-0ubuntu8.
Everything works fine in 10.04, Compiz version 0.8.4-0ubuntu15.
