My problem wasn't about focus.  I know the window had input focus (my
settings change the border color for focused windows), but the keyboard
events weren't accepted by certain clients.

I've seen that problem also, with and without xinerama enabled (always
with dual-head nvidia cards).  My keyboard input problem only affected
certain clients.  Like I said, one rxvt would accept keyboard events and
another rxvt right next to it wouldn't.  It was an X.org server, I forget
the version.  I've not noticed the problem recently, but I could try to
reproduce the problem if necessary.
