Lose emacs focus when using with EXWM

[vuquangtam]

I use emacs25 in another xserver (run in Xephyr) with exwn. When i try opening eaf, everytime i focus on eaf window, i lose my emacs focus (can't type on emacs).

EAF use complicated technology that depend on general desktop environment, such as, KDE/DDE/Unity/Gnome2

EAF won't work if you run it on any Tile WM or other light DE (LXDE, Xfce, OpenBox etc)

Is it possible to have an idea of technology you're referring to? I'd be interested in trying to make this work if it was feasible.

EAF confirms that the desktop environment or window manager you can work includes: KDE, Gnome2, Gnome3, Mate, Xfce, LXDE, Sway, i3, QTile, Xpra.

We suspect there are some issues with how all the Window Managers implement their x11 protocols.

One workaround is to name of command wmctrl -m to the elisp list eaf-wm-focus-fix-wms. Fill an issue if it still doesn't work

A quick test seems to fix the issue I was seeing. Would it be worth me sending a PR to add EXWM to the eaf-wm-focus-fix-wms list?
