Public bug reported:

On windows that are not topmost, or at least not the topmost window
after "Always On Top" windows, scrollwheel based hotkeys do not work,
for example, Alt+wheel for changing window opacity, or Super+wheel for
zooming in/out.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a nautilus window. Leave it unmaximized.
2. Open another nautilus window. Leave it unmaximized as well.
3. Click on the second window to make sure it's raised.
4. Move mouse over the second window, and use Super+ScrollUp to zoom in using the ezoom plugin (this should work, otherwise check to make sure the ezoom plugin is enabled). Zoom back out (Super+ScrollDown) when you have verified that this works.
5. Move mouse over the first window, but do not click it, and leave it below the second window.
6. Attempt to use Super+ScrollUp to zoom in. Notice that it doesn't work.
7. Click on the first window to raise it, then  Try step 6 again. Notice that it works now.

Additional steps with always-on-top window:
8. Click on the second window again to raise it.
9. Right click on the window title bar and enable the "Always on top" option.
10. Click on the first window. The second window should remain on top.
11. Attempt step 6 again. Notice that the hotbutton works now.

Hotbuttons verified not to work:
1. Super+Scroll for zooming
2. Alt+Scroll for changing opacity
3. Ctrl+Alt+Scroll for changing desktop (this is a local customization)
