You could use mouse focus ('gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/focus_mode --type string mouse'). Then moving the mouse outside of any windows on the desktop would prevent those windows from receiving keyboard input. You could also open another window (which you don't care about), and then click in it. I'm doubtful the maintainers will want to make clicking the background defocus a window as the background isn't normally seen as a window. If so, I hope one of these workarounds will work for you... The behavior I was expecting returned a week after I reported this. (After my next apt-get update && apt-get upgrade) "I'm doubtful the maintainers will want to make clicking the background defocus a window as the background isn't normally seen as a window." I disagree - the desktop should certainly be "focus-able" or how would one select icons on the desktop? This bug may have belonged to nautilus at the time. This bug should be closed now.
