Problem was when the launcher was hidden, an async message saying the
dash opened was coming through. The dash would enable input, setting X
focus, and XIC focus. When the async message got to the launcher, it
being hidden, then has to reveal it self and when it does that it needs
to enable its input window so it accepts drag and drop from the dash and
events work on it.

The solution now, make sure we sync xevent focus and XIC focus. That is,
if a window is shown in nux it would change the XIC, but xevents are
still being sent to the dashes window (well really generated for), which
the XIC and the xevent would become out of sync. This means XFilterEvent
would just return instead of passing the event to the current IM (the
problem!).

Now we just make sure both are synced so if unity tries to stomp on the
focus things will work out :).

Title:
  fcitx often fails to work in dash with Unity

Bug description:
  The input method "fcitx' is supposed to work with Unity dash in raring,but it is not working well.
  This happens *only* when I set the launcher to hide as default.
  When I press Super to open the dash and begin to type characters into dash or HUD display (by pressing left alt),sometimes I can activate the input method.In more cases,there aren't any response when pressing "ctrl+space".Sometimes I can't type anything into dash.

  I've asked a developer of fcitx ("csslayer") but he said he knew
  nothing about it.He said it could be a bug of unity and suggested me
  to report the bug here.
