This affects Saucy too! same symptoms... To add to the symptoms, this
also occurs when selecting an application (already launched, so just to
switch to it, via unity launcher) other than the "Always on top/visable
on all workspaces" application, when it must switch workspaces to focus
the selected app... Instead of focusing the selected app, once the
workspace is switched it will focus the "Always on top/visable on all
workspaces" window instead.

This has been a security risk for me (let's try that approach :D , ok I
know I can just disable the visable on all workspaces or always on top
to fix BUT) as I've accidently provided my domain password to coworkers
because of this issue. (IM client is my  "Always on top/visable on all
workspaces" so when I go to switch to my RDP session and I'm in a hurry,
I just type out password and hit enter w/out thinking about it, so find
I just IM'd my password to last my convo!!!! VERY annoying, as I've had
to drop what I'm doing and change my password)!

I have confirmed the symptoms are present no matter what application I
set to  "Always on top/visable on all workspaces"...

Title:
  Always Visible and On Top Windows Steal Focus on Workspace Switch

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “unity” source package in Precise:

Bug description:
  1. Open any application (e.g. TextEditor)
  2. Right click the title bar
   2a. Select "Always on Visible Workspace"
  3. Right click the title bar
   3a. Select "Always on Top"
  4. Open a different application (e.g. Terminal)
  5. Ensure that window has focus
  6. Switch workspaces (Notice: the first application now has focus)
  7. Return to first workspace (Notice: the second application does not regain focus)

  Expected:

  The initial application should not have ever regained focus, and
  certainly the second application should have it when returning to that
  workspace.
