It seems to me like a sporadical issue. I will add it in the bugbusters list, but with a normal priority :)

xterm does not run as native Wayland application, but as XWayland.

localhost  gsd-xsettings
localhost.localdomain  gnome-shell
localhost.localdomain  spice-vdagent
localhost.localdomain  xterm
localhost.localdomain  xterm

AFAICT, the lost focus appears mostly right after reboot of the machine.
Adding a sleep call in updates_packagekit_gpk::setup_system before executing x11_start_program does not show the issue anymore. Maybe we are dealing with some race condition, however I have not reproduced the issue outside openQA

Seems like the lost focus happens when a X11 application is started before Xwayland

UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
bernhard  1683  1253  0 09:29 ?        00:00:00 xcalc ---> started w/o focus
bernhard  1684  1253  0 09:29 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/Xwayland :0 -rootless -
bernhard  1824  1253  0 09:30 ?        00:00:00 xterm ---> started w/ focus

they all have a common parent 

UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
bernhard  1253  1172  2 09:29 ?        00:00:13 /usr/bin/gnome-shell

GNOME focus default settings for new windows is set to smart, seemingly changing the option to strict might fix our sporadic stealing windows focus issue.
