Do you have latest Azalea from -trunk ?
There are a few changes on it to match what GNUstep does.
I have no problem switching application by clicking on their windows.
But I will run it for a while to see.
Fixing such bug has a side-effect that it may introduce another one.  :(

I am pretty sure that the problem is as I described.
But the fix may not be totally correct.
And it doesn't fix the loss of focus during minimization.
I am also not sure whether it will break on WindowMaker.
