The impact of this bug is small with the hack in metacity to always immediately
set the focus if it gets set to None somehow, but without that window manager
hack the impact is large since keyboard-only users (disabled users, etc.) can
lose all ability to control the computer.

I've been trying to think of how an app could depend on RevertToNone
existing/working (since such an app would break in the presence of either the
metacity hack or changing X to never use RevertToNone) but I can't really think
of a scenario. Does anyone remember why RevertToNone exists in the first place?
