with Qt it is even worse. A single ProcessMessages is not enough, I
have to *wait* until the other window actually has received focus
before I am allowed to proceed to issue the next focus change.
procedure TForm1.DoItBetter;
begin
F1.ShowOnTop;
while not F1.Active do begin;
writeln(FormatDateTime('ss.zzz', Now));
Application.ProcessMessages;
end;
F2.ShowOnTop;
WriteLn('done');
end;

It takes a few milliseconds with other window managers too but with
xfwm4 I really have to wait. Other WMs do not require me to wait, with
xfwm4 I have to wait until OtherFom1 is actually officially active
until I may proceed with activating OtherForm2.
