Lately when doing
$ firefox
then exiting it with C-q or ALT F q or even clicking in the X at the top
right, "focus"(?) is not returned to the calling shell, even though that is
now the window we are looking at.

Compare this with
$ xpdf
q
$ xpdf
q
$

For firefox, one now has to hit ALT TAB TAB... to do a no-op switch
windows back to the current window, in order to resume typing into the
shell. Else our keystrokes are ignored. Same problem if I start it from emacs' shell.

$ pstree -A

Same with skype. When I exit it I cannot just type into the window that I
am given.

By the way, mouse clicking is unaffected. Just the keyboard input is affected.
