Yes.  If your starting point is that the thing directing your input
events and focus shouldn't have to know where to direct its input
events or focus, then we disagree on something I consider axiomatic.

A more useful starting point might be a prototype of a system where
the compositor didn't track of this, which actually functioned in any
meaningful way in the real world.

Cheers,
