XWin focus in multiwindow mode


I noticed that a few apps don't manage focus properly when running under XWin.

Summary:
Given a focused X11 app, focusing a native Windows window, the focus is not lost in the X11 window.

Steps to reproduce (with terminator):
- Start terminator under XWin with multiwindow window manager
- Focus a Windows window by clicking on it

Expected behavior:
- Focus should be lost from the terminator window

Actual behavior:
- The terminator window remains focused. (by focused I mean that the caret remains plain, and the titlebar remains in the focused color, the windows properly lose keyboard focus and other OS level focus) - Also, if I open a menu (in android studio for example), and click a Windows window, the menu remains open.

Notes:
If I click another X11 windows, the focus is properly lost. It only happens if I pass the focus from an X11 window to a native Windows window.

I tested a few X11 app, and not all have this behavior:

Working app:
- xterm
- git-cola
- st
- konsole
- chromium

Apps showing the bug:
- android-studio
- terminator
- gnome-terminal
- termite
